How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I work with clients with anxiety by first understanding how anxiety is showing up in their daily life whether that looks like constant worry, racing thoughts, panic, irritability, difficulty sleeping, feeling overwhelmed, or trouble slowing down. I take a practical and collaborative approach, looking at the full picture, including emotional symptoms, physical health, stress levels, routines, and any other factors that may be contributing. When appropriate, I provide medication management as part of treatment, while also helping clients better understand their symptoms and what may be fueling them. My goal is to create a treatment plan that feels realistic, personalized, and supportive, so clients can feel more stable, more in control, and better able to function in everyday life.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of Open Chair Psychiatry & Mental Wellness. I provide telehealth psychiatric medication management for adults across Ohio with a focus on accessible, practical, and collaborative mental health care. My background in nursing and advanced psychiatric practice allows me to take a whole-person approach, recognizing how mental health, physical health, lifestyle, and life stressors interact. I believe treatment works best when patients feel heard, respected, and involved in decisions about their care. I have experience treating depression, anxiety disorders, mood instability, and other complex psychiatric conditions. My practice focuses primarily on medication management while emphasizing education and practical strategies that support long-term stability. I aim to expand access to quality psychiatric care for adults throughout Ohio, including those in communities with limited mental health resources.

How do you work with clients with anxiety?
I work with clients with anxiety by creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where they can feel safe exploring what they are experiencing. Together, we identify the thoughts, triggers, and patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, while also building practical tools to manage overwhelming emotions in daily life. Using a person-centered approach, I meet each client where they are and tailor treatment to their unique needs and goals. I also integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, solution-focused techniques to build on strengths and create achievable steps forward, and calming strategies to improve emotional regulation. My goal is to help clients feel more understood, confident, and empowered as they develop healthier ways to cope with anxiety and move toward lasting change.
I am dedicated to providing a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as you navigate life's challenges. I believe deeply in the power of collaboration, working alongside you to identify meaningful goals and create lasting, positive changes. I am also an ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. I use a person centered approach to counseling as well as, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused techniques, and The Gottman Method for couples therapy.

My path to becoming a therapist started long before graduate school. As a teenager, I struggled with anxiety and depression and learned firsthand how powerful it can be to have someone simply listen and help make sense of what feels impossible. That experience shaped my belief that no one is ever too far gone—there is always hope and always another day. Helping others see that truth is the most fulfilling part of my work. What I love most about working with my clients is witnessing people reconnect with their strength—often at moments when they feel the most broken or unsure of themselves. I value the trust clients place in me and feel honored to walk alongside them as they process, heal, and grow. Seeing small shifts turn into meaningful change is incredibly rewarding. I believe healing is not about “fixing” what’s wrong, but about understanding yourself more deeply and learning how to move forward with compassion and intention. Therapy is a collaborative process grounded in safety, connection, and curiosity. Growth happens when people feel seen, supported, and empowered to make changes at their own pace. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), TF-CBT (Trauma-Focused CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and DBT-informed skills. But above all, I believe in the power of authentic connection and trust between therapist and client. My role is to walk alongside you—not ahead of you—helping you build insight, skills, and confidence to create meaningful change. Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, our three cats, and my family. I find joy in traveling, especially with my husband, sharing coffee with friends, and taking mini trips with my mom and sister.
