Hi, I’m Ozzie (Ohh-Zee) —a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 26 years of experience in healthcare. I’ve worked in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings, supporting individuals facing a wide range of mental health challenges, including mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, and more.

In my practice, I strive to create a warm and collaborative environment where you feel heard and supported. My approach blends therapy and medication management, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. I’m here to help you navigate your journey toward healing and to help you feel more like your true self.

I am licensed in Washington and Texas with over 10 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, communication and confidence. I have worked with parents to target behavioral challenges and provided parenting education to improve the family home. In addition, I have success with helping families navigate relationship challenges and reintegrating.

I believe therapy begins with feeling safe, heard, and genuinely understood. I work to create a warm and supportive space where clients can be themselves without judgment and feel comfortable being honest about what they are experiencing. Building a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of my work, and I believe that meaningful change happens when clients feel supported while also being gently challenged to move toward the life they want.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Metropolitan State College of Denver and my Master’s degree in Counseling from Regis University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2014, with experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a variety of personal and emotional challenges. My professional background has allowed me to work with individuals and families while developing individualized treatment approaches based on each client’s needs, strengths, and goals.

I specialize in trauma-informed care and work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and significant life transitions. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults and understand that each person’s experiences and needs are unique. I take a person-centered approach grounded in empathy, connection, and collaboration. I am trained in EMDR and may incorporate EMDR and other therapeutic approaches when appropriate to help clients process difficult experiences, build resilience, and create meaningful change.

Most importantly, I want my clients to know that they do not have to navigate difficult seasons alone. My goal is to meet you where you are, understand what matters to you, and work alongside you at a pace that feels supportive and manageable.

About Me

Struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, and/or chronic illness and still feeling stuck? Many of my clients have done years of talk therapy but continue to feel disconnected. You understand your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn't caught up yet.

In my 22 years of clinical practice, I have found that nervous system dysregulation sits at the crux of all chronic illness, trapping the body in survival mode and blocking true physical and emotional healing. As a University of Washington graduate, I provide culturally sensitive, evidence-based care specializing in trauma resolution, discovering your true life purpose, and helping individuals make meaning out of tragedies. My approach balances academic and clinical rigor with a highly intuitive style, integrating somatic work and core beliefs to create deep, lasting relief. I describe myself as a direct, compassionate "soul sister" with a humorous, no-nonsense style—because let's face it, the human plight is nuts! Beyond individual therapy, I extend this transformative work to the community by offering interactive public workshops designed to help people get out of their heads and step into integrated change.
