I am a licensed professional counselor with a bachelors degree in social work and a masters degree in community mental health counseling. I am committed to helping folks who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, psychiatric disorders and many other life challenges. I also have extensive experience in working with First Responders on a local and federal level. I have provided treatment and support services for individuals who have experienced life altering events which include but are not limited to grief and bereavement including infant loss, cancer, and other end-of-life issues.
As a marriage & family therapist, I am experienced in guiding individuals, couples and families as they work through traumatic and complex situations.
I am here to join with you in your journey toward overcoming depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, perinatal distress, postpartum depression or other challenges you may be facing.
Upon request, I also provide Christian counseling to help individuals and families meet both their emotional and spiritual needs.
I grew up in rural PA working on my grandfather's potato farm, learning equine therapy benefits starting at age eight. I joined the food industry as a waitress and worked throughout my RN undergrad.
I began my nursing career after earning my BSN from IUP in 2015, stepping directly into the fast‐paced world of behavioral health care within emergency room settings. Those early years shaped my clinical foundation and deepened my commitment to supporting individuals who have experienced trauma. I continued to grow, learning medicine, therapeutic communications skills, de-escalation techniques while working inpatient contracts at various facilities across PA, including child and adolescent units, adult and geriatric units, and correctional facility contracts.
Driven to expand efficient care through impact, I completed my MSN as a Psychiatric‐Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in November 2024. I initially provided inpatient hospital care, gaining valuable experiences in a new psychiatric treatment facility. As my career and family needs evolved, I discovered that remote psychiatric care offered the balance and flexibility that best supported both my professional goals and home life balance. My passion for farms, animals, and my large blended and busy family will help my clients see why I enjoy offering them a decade of behavioral health experience. With my advanced PMHNP training, I will deliver compassionate, accessible mental health support in a comfortable virtual setting.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Oregon. I have over 20 years of experience working in mental health and social services with 11 years as a therapist in private practice. I work with individuals, couples and families, adults and adolescents. I specialize in treating complex trauma and using exercise and nutrition for mental health.
I am passionate about children, adolescents and adults, especially for the well-being of families. I have been a Special Education Teacher and Counselor for over 35 years. My philosopy is based on a psychodynamic, holistic (mind, body, spirit) approach to enrich lives and help heal emotional wounds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the use of Expressive Arts are helpful in changing thinking patterns and perceptions that impede growth and awareness. I believe in the process of our God-given Life and strengths within each of us to shine more brightly.
It's not easy starting therapy and investing time in yourself, but you've already done the first step! My experience has primarily been focused in clients with eating disorders and co-occurring diagnoses. With that said, I also have extensive experience working with relationship challenges, anxiety, self-harm, and suicidality. I generally like to pull from my knowledge of various therapy modalities such as DBT, CBT, FBT and EFFT. I also really enjoy self-compassion work. Your goals are always my top priority, and I am here to support you every step of the way.
Outside of work, I enjoy live music, spending time with friends, and hanging out with my dogs, Nala and Toni. These personal interests help me stay grounded and bring balance to my life, which I believe is crucial for overall well-being.
If you're ready to take the next step, I'm here to help you navigate your journey towards healing and growth. Let's work together to achieve your goals!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Bend, OR
Searching for therapists in Bend starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Bend therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, and stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Their bio may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can help you understand how they structure care.
In a smaller city like Bend, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Oregon markets, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. You may prefer an office near your home or workplace, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can also show you how each therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Bend can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists in Bend, Oregon and makes it easier to check fit, coverage, availability, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients in one place. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review therapist bios, and choose between virtual and in-person care when you’re ready.
