I ask a lot of questions because understanding the full picture matters to me. As an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse–Clinical Nurse Practitioner (APRN-CNP), I provide psychiatric care grounded in curiosity and collaboration rather than quick diagnoses or automatic prescriptions. I work with children, teens, young adults, adults, and elders to address anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and ADD/ADHD through medication review, compassion-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered approaches. I'm straightforward about what I think is happening, your treatment options, and what's realistic—including benefits, risks, and alternatives. Sometimes medication is essential; sometimes other approaches matter more. Often it's both. I believe you should be an active participant in your care, bringing your lived experience while I bring clinical knowledge and evidence-based perspective. I'm currently accepting new clients and offer both telehealth and in-person sessions, accepting most major insurances including Medicare and Medicaid in Ohio.
