Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric care through secure telehealth services. I am licensed in Ohio and board certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and I work with adolescents and adults seeking accessible, professional mental health care.

With over 20 years of healthcare experience, I specialize in psychiatric medication management and the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD (treatment with non-stimulant medication), bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, mood disorders and related conditions.

My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, emphasizing shared decision-making, careful assessment, and individualized treatment planning.

Telehealth allows me to provide consistent, high-quality care while reducing common barriers such as travel, long wait times, and scheduling challenges. I take time to listen, explain treatment options clearly, and ensure patients feel informed and supported throughout their care.

I am committed to creating a respectful, judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and goals. Whether you are new to mental health treatment or continuing care, I focus on improving symptoms, supporting long-term stability, and enhancing overall quality of life.

Over nine years ago my life changed. I lost a son to suicide due to unaddressed mental health needs. A system that was overwhelmed failed him. I returned to school to help close that gap and want to work with others to start their journey towards mental wellness. As someone who has experienced depression and anxiety, I understand the challenges faced.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Cincinnati

Finding OCD therapists in Cincinnati starts with looking for the right training, not just the right specialty label. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common evidence-based approach for OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. If you’re looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsions, avoidance, reassurance-seeking, or related anxiety, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach. Bios that mention ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or OCD-focused experience can help you identify a stronger clinical fit.

Cincinnati has a steady network of therapists, with options across local offices and virtual appointments. For some people, an in-person therapist near home, work, or campus is the best fit. Others may find that virtual sessions expand access to therapists with more specific OCD experience. As you compare therapists in Cincinnati, OH, look beyond whether OCD appears in a profile. Check whether the therapist describes direct ERP training, current appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. A bio can also show how the therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.

Therapy in Cincinnati can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan before booking. You can enter your insurance details to see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking, then browse OCD therapists in Cincinnati, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
