Great to meet you! I’m a multistate-licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in mental health and trauma-informed care. I have worked with adolescents, adults, older adults, veterans, and current and former professional athletes. I know reaching out for support can feel difficult, so I strive to make therapy comfortable from the start. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, the beach, yoga, traveling, sporting events, and time with my dogs, family, and friends.

With over 20 years of experience in healthcare, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to mental health care. As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, including pediatrics, family medicine, cardiology, correctional health, emergency medicine, and education.

I believe that meaningful care starts with truly meeting patients where they are. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to be your authentic self. Together, we work toward practical, personalized solutions that support your mental and emotional well-being.

When I’m not working, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, visiting amusement parks, going on cruises, or spending quiet time at home with my husband and our two dogs.

You don't have to be good at talking about feelings to start therapy.

I work with adults who may feel stressed, stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure what needs to change-but know they don't want to keep going the way they have been. I especially enjoy working with men navigating relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, major life changes, or the pressure of trying to hold everything together.

I have 10 years of experience working in mental health. My style is warm, holistic and collaborative with plenty of humor along the way. Therapy with me is a place to be honest about what isn't working, understand yourself better, and start making changes that actually fit your 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.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Ohio, dedicated to helping individuals break old cycles and reclaim their peace. Since 2018, I have provided specialized mental health therapy across diverse settings, including college-based community mental health with BIPOC programming, inpatient addiction care, and private practice. I am an in-network provider with many insurance companies, including Providence Health Plan through the Headway network. My practice focuses heavily on supporting women, students, individuals experiencing various life transitions, and those, who are exhausted from people-pleasing, overcommitting, and ignoring their own boundaries. Together, we work to heal past and present wounds to build a deep, lasting foundation of self-trust and self-love.

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.

Hello, my name is Patty and I am here to remind you that;

You are not your struggles.

Too often, people begin to define themselves by their anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, painful experiences, or difficult circumstances. While these challenges are real and deserve attention, they do not define who you are.

I understand that life's journey can include loss, disappointment, uncertainty, and unexpected transitions. Yet,.I believe these experiences can also reveal resilience, wisdom, and strengths that may have previously gone unrecognized. Our experiences help shape our stories, but they do not determine how the story ends.
