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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Salem, OR

Searching for therapists in Salem starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for a Salem therapist for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit what you are looking for.

Salem is a smaller city, so your local options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping care with a therapist licensed in Oregon. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before you book can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in sessions.

Therapy in Salem can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start. Headway helps you search for Salem, Oregon therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific therapist and location. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
