Hi, I'm Andrea, a psychiatric nurse practitioner in Illinois providing care through telehealth. I support clients working through anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, PTSD, stress, and relationship concerns. Whether you're looking for therapy, medication care, or both, we'll focus on the approach that best fits your needs, goals, and comfort level.
I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you notice the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, then build practical tools you can use in everyday life. Together, we might work on managing anxiety, improving focus and routines, navigating stress, strengthening relationships, or developing healthier ways to cope with difficult emotions.
When medication is part of your care plan, I provide clear, thoughtful guidance and take time to discuss your options. You set the pace, and we'll adjust our approach as we learn what works best for you.
Our first session is about getting to know each other: what brought you here, what you've been experiencing, and what you're hoping will change. I'll listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and explain any medication options including potential benefits and side effects in a straightforward way.
You'll leave with a plan we built together, whether that means starting therapy, considering medication, or taking a little more time to decide. My goal is to create a supportive, respectful space where you feel heard and confident in your next steps.
