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.

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.

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology and masters in social work, I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependence Counselor. I like to help anyone find solutions to their problems, manage difficult feelings, and reach their goals. I also enjoy helping both youth and adults increase communication. I use a variety of therapy techniques including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, gestalt, and psychodynamic primarily. I generally do what I can to help clients reach their treatment goals. I am an independently licensed clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor. I’ve provided therapy to a variety of mental health and substance problems for people ages 12-75. I enjoy helping people figure out the underlying obstacles to growth and success. I come alongside each client and we work together to explore the known and unknown, identify barriers, problems, and solutions, and set goals for the future. I’m not judgmental, I do my best to understand and encourage each person I work with. We are in this together! I believe that problems come from a variety of sources, sometimes our upbringing teaches us, sometimes thoughts influence what we do, and sometimes we have beliefs that aren’t in alignment with our goals. I believe we can change behavior if we change thoughts and beliefs. I believe everyone wants to live a better life, whatever that is for each of us. I also believe that two are better than one, which is why it’s so helpful to have an outside perspective! In my free time, I enjoy backpacking in the mountains, traveling, and making videos of the trips. I’m always ready for a fun adventure!
