Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you’re used to managing everything on your own. I work with adults, including many caregivers who are balancing a lot and may feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or unsure how to prioritize themselves while caring for others.

I’ve supported clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and parenting stress.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and adolescents (ages 4–21), which allows me to support parents with a deeper understanding of child and adolescent development. This helps caregivers better understand their child’s behavior and feel more confident in how they respond at home.

Hello! Thank you for being here. Reaching out for therapy is incredibly brave but can also be a bit overwhelming. I’m hoping I can help you see your strength and worth while we navigate all the things life throws our way.

I’m Kathy and I have been a social worker for 23 years now. I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for the last 16 years of that time. For the majority of my profession, I have been working in the hospital setting, helping patients find solutions to a wide range of needs. I have seen patients struggle in many different ways in life and helping them has also helped me grow as a social worker.

I am passionate about helping people realize they are capable of more than they think. Everyone deserves to see their worth and I would love to work with you to help you see yours.

Hi, I am Jessi, and I believe that therapy works best when people feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up exactly as they are while working towards meaningful change.

I work with individuals that struggle with anxiety, depression, life stressors, navigating relationships, self-esteem issues, trauma processing and PTSD, and emotional overwhelm. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply trying to better understand yourself, therapy can be a place to slow down, process, and grow.

Reaching out can feel vulnerable, so I'm glad you are here! I look forward to helping you move towards greater clarity, confidence, and balance.

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.
