Hello and welcome to Villa Grove Mental Wellness! Finding the right mental health provider is an important step, and I’m so glad you’re here.

My unique professional journey has shaped my passion for helping adolescents and adults improve their mental health and overall well-being. Before becoming a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I spent 16 years as a registered nurse, including working as a mother/baby nurse and IVF Nurse Coordinator at a world-renowned reproductive center.

Throughout my career, I saw how anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationships, and major life transitions can affect every aspect of a person’s life. This inspired me to continue my education and provide compassionate, individualized psychiatric care for people at many different stages of life.

At Villa Grove Mental Wellness, I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood concerns, life transitions, and reproductive or postpartum mental health challenges. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood while we work together to find a treatment approach that helps you feel your best.

My approach to providing care is centered around your unique life experiences! I am an advocate of providing compassionate, individualized mental health care and supporting women through the many paths to motherhood and overall wellness. I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard, understood, and empowered in their care. Whether you need some support in fertility coaching, medication management for depression and anxiety, or finding a treatment plan for coping with the mental challenges of pregnancy and postpartum, I am here to help find a solution.

In your first session, we will take time for you to tell your story, share your goals, and discuss how I can help you achieve them. I want you to feel comfortable being vulnerable so we can work together to find solutions. I embrace holistic options as well as traditional medication therapy. We will tailor your treatment plan to what feels right for you!
