Welcome. If you are an adult or adolescent in Ohio feeling overwhelmed or stuck, I provide a safe, collaborative space for your mental health journey. I see you as a whole person, not a list of symptoms. Typically, individuals seek psychiatric care when coping mechanisms are no longer enough for persistent anxiety, depression, stress, or mood disorders. Together, we start with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand your history and goals. If chosen, medication management is introduced thoughtfully at conservative doses and paired with supportive tools to help you build real-world skills and truly thrive.

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.

Hi, I’m Zach. I’ve worked in the medical field for the past 17 years, with 15 of those years dedicated to mental health care.

I believe mental health care should feel like a partnership. I often describe my role as being your co-pilot—someone who is here to listen, understand what you’re experiencing, and help you navigate your mental health journey without judgment. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and take an active role in your care.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and a variety of other mental health concerns. I understand that treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we’ll work together to find an approach that fits your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’ve received mental health treatment before or you’re considering it for the first time, I want you to feel comfortable taking that next step and know that you’ll have someone working alongside you.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I work with teens (12+) and adults who want down-to-earth, practical help for worry, low mood, poor sleep, and low energy. People come to me when anxiety, panic, persistent sadness, or sleep problems that are starting to get in the way of daily life, work, school, or relationships — or when past treatments didn’t help enough or caused unwanted side effects. I treat anxiety (including panic and OCD), depression, bipolar mood instability, psychosis when medication management is needed, insomnia, and struggles with motivation and energy.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


My path to psychiatry began with a simple observation: mental health needs are everywhere, yet not enough people have access to care. After five years as a family nurse practitioner, I made the move to psychiatric care because I wanted to be part of the solution. I bring a holistic perspective to every session, drawing on years of primary care experience to understand how physical and mental health are connected in each person. I am board certified and see patients virtually in Ohio. If you are navigating anxiety, depression, or PTSD, I am here to work alongside you toward real, lasting change.

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 Psychiatrist in Westlake, OH

Finding psychiatrists in Westlake starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support with coping skills, relationships, and behavior patterns. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want to address.

In a smaller market like Westlake, local psychiatrist availability may be more limited than in nearby Cleveland. Virtual appointments can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Psychiatric medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios for details on availability, appointment format, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Westlake can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage 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, match your preferences, and take your insurance plan. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, review profiles, and book directly when you are 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.
