Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 25 years of healthcare experience. I am PhD prepared and, in addition to providing psychiatric care, am an Associate Professor and Program Director at Rush University. For more information visit: https://www.athrivingmindmh.com/

My approach to therapy

I provide thoughtful, individualized care for adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health concerns. My approach combines evidence-based medication management and supportive psychotherapy, with an emphasis on understanding the whole person rather than simply treating symptoms. I value collaboration and want patients to feel heard, respected, and actively involved in decisions about their care. My goal is to provide high-quality mental health care that feels personal, un-rushed, and grounded in what matters most to you.

What you can expect from me

You can expect a relaxed, collaborative visit where we take time to understand what’s going on and what matters most to you. We’ll discuss your symptoms, experiences, goals, and treatment options together, including medication when appropriate. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard, informed, and comfortable with the plan we’ve created.
