Who Am I?
Our Practice
Hello, I'm Kara, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), proudly serving individuals across Ohio—both virtually and in person. I am certified to treat children, adolescents, and adults across the lifespan. Whether you’re seeking personalized care, emotional support, or guidance for general health and wellness, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide the individualized attention and compassionate care you deserve, while helping guide you toward a more balanced and successful life. I especially welcome Medical Professionals, Community Workers, and Veterans who are seeking private, discreet services. You are seen, supported, and honored here.
With over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse (BSN), my journey has taken me through diverse healthcare settings, including: Inpatient Mental Health at Cleveland Clinic, Emergency Department at University Hospital and Kaiser, VA
Hospital (inpatient and community mental health services). These experiences have shaped my deep understanding of the challenges many face when navigating mental health. I hold two advanced degrees: MSN in Leadership and Education (Graduated with Honors) Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatry/Mental Health (Graduated with Honors, ANCC Board Certified in 2019).
Over the past six years, I’ve worked in inpatient, outpatient, residential, community mental health, addiction services, and corrections. I am committed to staying at the forefront of psychiatric care through continuous education and the use of evidence-based practices.
Wherever you are on your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you—with empathy, expertise, and a true commitment to your well-being.
Treatment Focus
My primary focus is to help you identify and understand the barriers that may be standing in the way of your personal growth. You don’t have to face these challenges alone. Together, we can work toward a healthier, more empowered you. This journey includes developing a deeper awareness of your inner strength and gaining clarity around your thoughts and emotions. We can achieve this by providing a neutral safe space from the comfort of your own home. Whether you're using a smartphone, tablet, or computer, I’m here to connect with individuals anywhere in Ohio through secure, convenient virtual sessions—with the option of in-person appointments for those who prefer face-to-face support.
What to Expect:
- Initial Visit: 60–75 minutes
Includes a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and personalized treatment planning.
- Follow-Up Appointments: Scheduled every 1–3 months, as needed. During these sessions, we’ll evaluate your progress, discuss any side effects, and adjust your treatment to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Patient Promise
I truly believe that no matter where you are on your journey, there is hope. The key is knowledge—learning what works for you as an individual. Everyone’s path to wellness is different, and together, we can explore a variety of options tailored to your needs. It’s perfectly okay if medication isn’t the right fit for you. What matters most is finding a personalized approach that supports your well-being. By creating a plan together, we can move toward a better life—filled with better choices, more balance, and real success.
