I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private practice in Ohio, and I've built my work around one simple idea: you deserve care that actually sees you as a person. I offer medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and some therapy, with both telehealth and in-person options so you can choose what works for your schedule and comfort. I take time at the start of every relationship to understand your full situation before we map out a plan. If you want a provider who is going to slow down and be present with you, I'd be glad to work together.

I am a board certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over 5 years of experience treating patients in the outpatient and telehealth settings. I have experience treating patients throughout the lifespan but particularly enjoy treating women who often are too busy to take time to focus on their own mental health. I am very honest and direct with my patients and enjoy empowering them to help themselves. I am open-minded and love to listen to my patients tell me their story without fear of judgement. I have background in working both in community mental health and for a large privately owned mental health organization. I fully believe in the importance in taking a collaborative approach to treating my patients.

I am specializing in treating the mental health of adolescent females and women ages 16 and up. Focused areas of treatment include maternal mental health, post-partum mental health, ADHD treatment, bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, grief and trauma.

I am also focusing on treating healthcare professionals, first responders and busy individuals who often cannot get to an appointment due to their schedule requires working Monday thru Friday until 5pm. I am offering non-traditional appointment times to accommodate those needing a non-traditional appointment time. Mental health is just as important as physical health and should be treated as such.

Find the right psychiatrist 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 Therapist in Columbus

Searching for psychiatrists in Columbus starts with understanding what kind of care they provide. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage ongoing medication care. Therapists focus on talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you want support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, look for a psychiatrist whose listed specialties and experience match what you want to address.

Columbus has many mental health care options across areas like German Village, Short North, Worthington, and nearby suburbs, which can make the search take more time. Psychiatry appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. You may prefer an office near work or home, or virtual appointments that fit more easily into your week. Before booking, read each psychiatrist’s profile to understand their specialties, appointment style, availability, and whether they offer therapy in addition to medication management.

Psychiatric care in Columbus can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, preferences, and schedule. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.

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