Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Mental health has been an important part of my journey from the very beginning. I graduated from the University of St. Francis while working in inpatient behavioral health, where I learned how meaningful it is to meet people with kindness, patience, and understanding during difficult moments. I spent time working in medical-surgical settings to broaden my experience, but I was drawn back to mental health because it’s where I feel most connected to my work.

I provide care through telehealth and aim to make virtual visits feel as comfortable and easy as possible. I know it can take time to feel at ease talking through a screen, and I focus on creating a space that feels supportive, relaxed, and judgment-free. I take a collaborative approach, listening closely and working with you to find treatment options that fit your needs and your life.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, mood disorders, and related concerns. My goal is for you to feel heard, respected, and supported as we work together toward feeling better and more balanced in your day-to-day life.

With nearly thirty years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) I bring warmth and a genuine commitment to helping people move forward in their lives.

I work with a wide range of ages, from teens and young adults, to older individuals who find themselves at a crossroad and looking to make a change. Anxiety, Depression and Executive Functioning are several of the issues I cover. I also have a particular interest in Family Therapy, including the unique challenges that come with divorce and co-parenting.

I feel change really happens when we shift our attention toward new possibilities. I draw from a blend of cognitive therapy and interactive techniques tailored for the individuality of each client. My style is warm, direct, and often infused with humor, an essential part of healing.

I am highly responsive and profoundly invested in the well-being of every client.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Chicago

Finding OCD therapists in Chicago starts with looking for care that matches the way obsessive-compulsive disorder shows up for you. OCD can involve intrusive thoughts, checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, compulsive rituals, or symptoms sometimes called Pure O. Exposure and response prevention, or ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists have training in it. As you compare profiles, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP therapy, or experience supporting people with obsessive thoughts in their specialties or bio.

Chicago has many therapists across neighborhoods like the Loop, Lakeview, Logan Square, Hyde Park, and the West Side, which can make it harder to narrow your options. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of familiarity may differ from one who has specific ERP training, so review profiles for details about approach, session structure, and experience with OCD treatments for adults. Consider practical fit, too: office location, transit access, appointment availability, virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is offered can help you decide who fits your schedule and preferences.

Therapy in Chicago can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who focus on OCD and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage in Chicago. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking, then browse bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
