Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Westlake, OH

Hello, I’m Bianca, and I’m glad you’re taking this step toward supporting your well-being. I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 18 years of nursing experience. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Ohio University and my Master of Science in Nursing from Case Western Reserve University.

I work with adults (18+) who are navigating symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life stressors. I have experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including substance use disorders, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and perinatal and postpartum mood disorders.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected in your relationships, or worried about your child or family? Maybe you’ve been carrying stress, anxiety, grief, conflict, or painful life changes for so long that you barely recognize yourself anymore. You may have spent years trying to stay strong for everyone else while quietly struggling on your own. If so, you are not alone.

I offer a warm, compassionate, and supportive space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through without fear of judgment. With nearly 60 years of professional experience working with individuals, couples and families, I understand how deeply emotional pain, relationship struggles, family stress, loss, and life transitions can affect people.

I have extensive experience working with at-risk adolescents and young adults facing challenges such as self-harming behaviors, trauma, addictions, and family conflict.

I have worked successfully with adults navigating substance use concerns, chronic pain and other health difficulties, caregiver burnout, grief, various forms of loss, and major life transitions.

In addition, I work with couples facing communication difficulties, separation, infidelity, divorce and other relationship challenges, as well as families dealing with parenting stress, illness, addictions, cultural adaptation, and significant life changes. I am also able to support families with young children who are experiencing developmental difficulties, health challenges, or acting-out behaviors and I provide pre-marital counseling for couples who are about to tie the knot. Throughout our work together, I strive to help clients build greater self-awareness, strengthen relationships, develop healthier coping strategies, and move toward a greater sense of balance, connection, and emotional well-being.
