Great to meet you!

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over 11 years of experience in the medical field. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from Southern Illinois University, graduating in 2024. Throughout my career, I have cared for patients in diverse healthcare settings, giving me a strong foundation in both physical and mental health. This experience allows me to provide comprehensive, holistic care that recognizes the important connection between emotional and physical well-being.

My approach to therapy

I treat adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns. I believe every individual deserves compassionate, personalized care in a safe, nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard, respected, and supported. My goal is to partner with clients to develop individualized treatment plans that promote resilience, improve daily functioning, and support lasting emotional wellness.

What you can expect from me

Together, we’ll create an individualized treatment plan tailored to your goals. This may include discussing medication options, therapeutic techniques, lifestyle recommendations, or referrals to additional resources when appropriate. I encourage open communication and welcome any questions you may have, so you feel informed and actively involved in your treatment decisions.

My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and judgment-free environment where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences. By the end of our first visit, you’ll have a clearer understanding of your diagnosis, treatment options, and the next steps toward improving your mental health and overall well-being.
