Dr. Ohaus began her academic journey at Tulane University in New Orleans, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Sociology.

Her professional experience is extensive and diverse, spanning community mental health, substance use treatment, college counseling centers, inpatient psychiatric units, and private practice. This wide-ranging background has equipped Dr. Ohaus with a unique ability to understand and support clients from all walks of life, and to address a broad spectrum of mental health presentations with empathy and expertise.

Dr. Ohaus grew up in Alaska and has lived in New Orleans, Seattle, Boston, Utah, and Colorado.
