I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience and more than three years in outpatient psychiatry. I hold a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and have Full Practice Authority in Illinois.

I provide psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and individualized treatment for children ages 8 and older, adolescents, and adults, including older adults. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, and other mental health conditions.

My approach to care is warm, empowering, and holistic. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing their concerns. I believe in working collaboratively with each client to develop personalized, evidence-based treatment plans that address their unique needs, promote emotional well-being, and improve their overall quality of life.

During your first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your concerns. I will take time to listen, understand your symptoms, mental health history, current challenges, and treatment goals. Together, we will discuss your needs, explore treatment options, and develop a personalized, evidence-based care plan that may include medication management, education, and ongoing support. My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, empowered, and confident as we work toward improving your mental health and overall well-being.
