With 20 years of experience, I have moved past clinical jargon to focus on what actually works: true empathy and genuine human connection. My practice is built on real-world experience, and I am dedicated to helping people navigate life with clarity and strength.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, substance use, anxiety, and depression. I also focus on women’s issues, professional burnout, navigating major life transitions, and the art of setting healthy boundaries. I provide a professional, evidence-based approach that remains focused on you as a person.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a private practice in Ohio, and I've built my work around one simple idea: you deserve care that actually sees you as a person. I offer medication management, psychiatric evaluations, and some therapy, with both telehealth and in-person options so you can choose what works for your schedule and comfort. I take time at the start of every relationship to understand your full situation before we map out a plan. If you want a provider who is going to slow down and be present with you, I'd be glad to work together.

I've spent years caring for people navigating the challenges that come with anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I believe real change is possible for anyone willing to take the first step. My background spans both medical and behavioral health, which means I approach your mental health as part of your whole health story, not in isolation. Working remotely allows me to meet you where you are, offering the flexibility that busy, full lives deserve.
