Expertise and clarity define Dr. Harper’s practice. An experienced board-certified psychiatrist, she integrates psychotherapy into every session, connecting neurobiology with emotional patterns to guide lasting change. Patients work with a clinician who values both evidence and meaning, blending medical precision with therapeutic depth.
Her approach draws on psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral and attachment based therapies, adapted to each patient’s goals. Sessions balance insight with practical tools such as reframing and mindfulness, offering steady progress at a sustainable pace.
In addition to clinical work, Dr. Harper served as Associate Professor and Director of Medical Student Education at Wright State University, where she trained future physicians to approach psychiatry with rigor and compassion. She brings that same dedication to her patients, fostering trust, resilience and enduring growth.
