I am dually certified as an Adult Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care to individuals across Ohio and look forward to assisting you on your mental health journey. More than a healthcare provider: I am a wife, mother and Nana. Along with my sisters, a caregiver to elderly parents. Proud owner of an adorable shih tzu named Flippy.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

We will start the process of developing an individualized, reasonable and achievable path toward what you want to change. Sounds overwhelming and maybe outrageous - right?? I am certain that together we can make it 'easy peasy' (my grandson's new favorite phrase) I wish I were a perfect communicator (if that exists), but I am not :-) I do try hard though to use active listening, reflecting back and neutrality instead of any kind of judgement or criticism. At the end of your first visit, I want you to have a sense of empowerment and confidence in your mental health journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is a single focus of making sure that you feel heard, hopeful and valued. The most important result to me will be your result.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Reaching out for help can be difficult. I will do everything I can to help you in this process and support you. I enjoy helping people who are struggling a bit to understand their feelings, needs and goals. Together we can develop goals and strategies to get you to a more comfortable and satisfying place.

I was nervous for my first session, but Donna made me feel comfortable and was non judgemental and I feel like she genuinely cares!

She is always open to my ideas and making sure I am comfortable with everything. She is quick to respond to any of my messages. I would recommend!
