I believe clients can reach their highest potential through support and greater self-awareness. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in sociology in 2015 and my master’s degree in counseling in 2018. Over the past 8 years, I have worked with a variety of clients in multiple levels of care. This has in included outpatient counseling for individuals with substance use and mental health disorders, group treatment for clients transitioning from psychiatric hospitalization, and supporting court-ordered clients with substance use and mental health concerns. Most recently, I worked at a group private practice specializing in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and perfectionism.

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.

I approach to counseling and therapy is that we're all striving to connect with our whole or "essence" self that resides within us. I see myself as a facilitator of that change. I am a holistic and trauma-informed therapist with some twenty-five years' experience.

Therapist

I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.

Counseling for me is about companionship! Companions are with you through the good and the not-so-good. The most important thing in counseling is creating a relationship where people can feel and think how they want to about their experience within the relationship because whether we are stepping in the right or wrong direction we are ever growing and changing. Everyone perceives life through a different lens. Biological, physiological, and environmental variables influence those perspectives in different domains of people’s lives. All ages with: Anxiety, Depression, Addictions, Schizo and Mood Spectrum, Paraphallic, and Trauma.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Ohio


Hi, I’m Zach. I’ve worked in the medical field for the past 17 years, with 15 of those years dedicated to mental health care.

I believe mental health care should feel like a partnership. I often describe my role as being your co-pilot—someone who is here to listen, understand what you’re experiencing, and help you navigate your mental health journey without judgment. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where you can be yourself, feel heard, and take an active role in your care.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and a variety of other mental health concerns. I understand that treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all, so we’ll work together to find an approach that fits your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’ve received mental health treatment before or you’re considering it for the first time, I want you to feel comfortable taking that next step and know that you’ll have someone working alongside you.
