Hello, my name is Deana. I have worked in health care in various capacities over the last 35 years. I have been in advanced practice for 19 years, including family practice for 19 years and psychiatric mental health certification two years prior. I am also an educator and teach psychiatry and mental health nursing at a local university. I have always felt drawn to help those suffering from mental health needs and believe in holistic care, treating the whole patient, not just the disorder. I believe in healthy lifestyles, medications as needed, and the importance of self-care and awareness to treat such disorders as anxiety and depression. I look forward to helping you with all of your mental health needs. In-person appointments are available starting on the 4th Friday in August and will continue every 2nd and 4th Friday in the Desire Wellness office, 2658 N. Columbus Street, Suite H3 Lancaster, Ohio with prior notice.

My biggest strengths have been those suffering from anxiety disorders, including panic and OCD, and depression symptoms.
