Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Dayton, OH

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with Supervisory Designation (LPCC-S) in Ohio with nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I am also licensed to practice in Missouri and hold telehealth registration in Florida, allowing me to provide services to clients across multiple states. I earned my Master of Arts in Counseling and Human Development from Walsh University and have spent my career working with individuals experiencing a wide variety of emotional, relational, and life challenges. In addition to my clinical work, I have experience in clinical leadership and supervision and serve as an adjunct faculty member in a graduate counseling program.

I especially enjoy working with adults navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, grief and trauma. I also have a particular passion for women's mental health, including helping women navigate the emotional and psychological challenges that can accompany hormonal and reproductive transitions. Areas of special interest include Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), postpartum emotional and mental health concerns, and perimenopause and menopause. I recognize how significantly these seasons can affect mood, anxiety, relationships, sense of self, and overall well-being—and how often women feel that these experiences are misunderstood or minimized.

As a Queer, Xicana of Mexican, Indigenous, Irish, and Czech ancestry who was raised by a gay parent, I know from lived experience, the importance of culturally-responsive care that recognizes the harm of systemic and interpersonal oppression and stigma.

Hi! I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio whose passion is watching people heal and grow into the humans they were put here to be. My formal education comes from Ohio University in Athens, OH, with a master's degree in education - clinical/mental health counseling. My life education comes from being a person in long-term recovery for 15 years. I look forward to accompanying you on your search for you.

Hello, I’m Bianca, and I’m glad you’re taking this step toward supporting your well-being. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and my Master of Science in Nursing from Case Western Reserve University.

I work with adults (18+) who are navigating symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life stressors. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including substance use disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and perinatal and postpartum mood disorders.

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.
