Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Columbus, OH

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.
