Great to meet you!

My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner wasn't just a career choice; it was a personal mission. After watching a loved one navigate the complexities of mental health, I realized how much the right support—or the lack of it—can change the trajectory of a life. Because of this, I’m not just focused on symptoms; I’m focused on you.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and neurocognitive disorders, providing telehealth care throughout Illinois. I take great pride in my ability to break down complex clinical terms into understandable language, ensuring you never feel left in the dark about your own brain. When I'm not in the "office," I’m usually staying active, cooking, or listening to an educational podcast to stay sharp on the latest in wellness.

My approach to therapy

I believe that effective treatment is built on a foundation of safety and collaboration. My approach is strictly patient-centered, meaning I meet you exactly where you are in your journey—without judgment.

My practice balances genuine human connection with evidence-based clinical expertise. While I am an expert in medication management, I view it as one tool in our toolkit. We work together to find a sustainable path forward that respects your unique culture, orientation, and personal goals. I don’t just want to treat a diagnosis; I want to help you regain the sense of control over your emotions and self that may feel lost right now.

What you can expect from me

The first step is often the hardest, especially if you’re feeling exhausted or frustrated by previous treatments that didn’t work. In our first session, you can expect to be heard.

We will start with a comprehensive, low-pressure conversation to understand your history and current challenges. We’ll discuss:

  • Your experiences with past treatments and what felt "off" about them.
  • Your specific goals—whether that’s simply getting through the day without feeling overwhelmed or regaining emotional stability.
  • A clear, transparent explanation of potential treatment paths.

You’ll leave that first session with a collaborative plan and, hopefully, the realization that you finally have a partner who is just as invested in your progress as you are.
