Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Salem, OR

I see therapy as a collaboration between two people dealing with the messiness of being human. For me, being professional isn’t about appearances—it’s about a serious commitment to the ethics of counseling, to learning the craft of therapy, and to supporting your self-understanding as it evolves in real time.

My primary goal is to understand your life and your hopes on your terms. We work from there to help you get more of what you want and less of what you don't.

While my background includes a clinical license and training in a range of approaches to therapy, I also have a longstanding interest in history, philosophy, and literature. However, I don’t bring that book learning directly into our sessions; I hold that knowledge lightly and draw on it only when it may help. Whether you’re wrestling with deeper questions about purpose or just trying to get through a stressful week, I’m interested in helping you shift your life in ways that make what you want more likely.

I work well with people from a wide range of backgrounds and belief systems. You don’t need a particular worldview—or any specific way of talking about yourself—to work with me. If you’re willing to share what’s going on for you, we can usually work together.

My counseling style is trauma-informed, individualized, and paced to ensure comfort and readiness for each client. I am deeply passionate about helping individuals overcome the distress of their past and ease their anxieties about the future. I believe our childhood experiences play a significant role in shaping who we are, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their past and process their trauma. With unconditional positive regard, I gently reframe perspectives shaped by past experiences, fostering healing, growth, and a stronger sense of self.

I believe healing happens in the context of feeling seen, understood, and supported. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and EMDR Certified Therapist, I work with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, and life transitions. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that people are not broken; they are often carrying experiences that have shaped how they move through the world. Together, we will build on your strengths, explore patterns that may no longer serve you, and work toward creating a life that feels more aligned, meaningful, and manageable.

As a PMHNP-BC, I offer medication management and therapy sessions via Telehealth Mon-Fri 0900- 19:00.

I received my PhD from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and have experience in community mental health, university counseling center, and hospital settings. I also worked as a professor at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and as a clinical supervisor for doctoral students before transitioning to my current full-time private practice. I enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual/faith-related concerns. I believe authenticity and humility are essential qualities in an effective therapist, which is why I am committed to my own ongoing personal growth and development as part of my clinical role.

With over 20 years of clinical experience as a licensed therapist and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), I specialize in helping driven adults navigate anxiety, trauma, depression, and major life transitions.

My approach is trauma-informed, solution-focused, and action-oriented. I integrate evidence-based techniques from DBT, ACT, Solution-Focused Therapy (SFBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Unified Protocol, and Exposure Therapy. Rather than acting as a passive listener, I serve as an active collaborator, helping you resolve ambivalence, build emotional resilience, and break free from chronic stress or self-sabotaging patterns.
