Introduction

I am a dual licensed and board certified Nurse Practitioner in both Psychiatric Mental Health (PMHNP) and Family Medicine (FNP). Prior to my work in psychiatry, I spent over 10 years working in a mix of emergency medicine, trauma care, urgent care and covering for primary care providers. I understand what it means to work in high stress, high demand environments. I believe in addressing mental health with the same level of focus and detail that the most complex physical health conditions require. Mental health is too often overlooked by medicine as a root cause to many of our most disabling conditions. I individualize healthcare to what is most prevalent, and relevant, to each person. Everyone's story is unique, so their care has to be unique to them. I strive to make everyone feel welcomed without any judgement. My goal is to leave you feeling heard and validated. I am partnered with Headway and Grow Therapy for ever expanding insurance coverage and billing options in the State of Ohio and Massachusetts. I also welcome self-pay clients. Licensed Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Ohio and Massachusetts. Serving Adults Ages 18-55
