Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bowling Green, OH

Greetings! I returned to school after having children to earn my Masters as a Licensed Clinical Counselor in order to help people navigate through difficult situations in their lives. My main passion focuses on treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and women's issues, often utilizing EMDR and person-centered approach. I am also partnered with Journey Clinical to utilize Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to assist with treatment-resistant anxiety and depression.

Building a psychiatric practice from the ground up means I get to do this the right way from the start. I chose psychiatric mental health care because I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it can be to find timely, thoughtful mental health treatment—especially in communities where there simply aren’t enough providers.

My background in healthcare has given me experience working with people during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring that experience into every patient encounter, while keeping my focus where it belongs: on you, your goals, and what will actually help you move forward.

I believe psychiatric care should be collaborative, straightforward, and individualized. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, mood changes, or other mental health concerns, I want you to feel heard rather than judged. We’ll take the time to understand what you're experiencing, discuss your options honestly, and develop a treatment plan that makes sense for you.

My goal is to make getting quality psychiatric care easier—not another source of frustration. I’m committed to providing accessible, evidence-based treatment in a setting where patients can build a long-term relationship with their provider. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I believe you should understand the why behind your treatment.

I strive to build the kind of practice I believe patients deserve: accessible, personal, and focused on treating the whole person—not just a diagnosis.

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

I have served individuals experiencing mental health symptoms and co-occurring disorders for 20 years. I am a social worker, a therapist and an independent provider for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities.

Life's challenges bring us to our knees. A Clinical Counselor helps. 36+ years of work with courts, hospitals & schools helps. "Been there, ... I get it". In my early 20’s, while working F/T at UC, I learned Clinical Counseling (diagnosis and treatment of mental and emotional disorders) while completing my Doctorate in my 20’s at UD. Clinically trained by UC (adults) and CCHMC (ages 0-18). Specially trained in Trauma, DBT, EMDR and law. Supreme Court of Ohio approved PC, GAL and Mediator (starting in ‘89 with Airing Institute - Beech Acres, Co-led Divorce Mediation). Collaborative Law FRS. ADHD Assessment & Accommodations Plans.
