If your mind moves quickly, your to-do list never ends, or you often feel behind no matter how hard you try - you are not alone!

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Illinois


I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.

My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.

I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.

You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

Therapist

My style is eclectic and strength based. I see human nature as intrinsically good. Sigmund Freud said we are bio-social animals. I believe a great deal in listening to one’s self talk. The more positive our dialogue with ourselves is, the more positive our dialogues with others and our lives are. I’m also experienced in CBT, DBT, MI, Solution Focused, ACT, Gestalt, Interpersonal, and person-centered counseling.

My training includes lots of wonderful supervision and workshops, a three-year certificate from the Gestalt Institute of Chicago, and two one month intensives with Virginia Satir, the founder of family therapy. Virginia taught that exploring the self is like mining gold. We all have gold inside of us. That is our basic goodness. A lot of emotional suffering is the result of being detoured from that basic goodness.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Northbrook, IL

Searching for therapists in Northbrook starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare options for Northbrook counseling, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A profile that explains how a therapist works can help you understand whether their style feels aligned before you book.

Northbrook has local therapy options, but availability can vary in smaller suburban markets. Virtual care can expand your search beyond nearby offices while keeping you connected with a therapist licensed in Illinois. You can also narrow your options by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and the type of care they provide. Reading therapist bios can help you compare communication style, specialties, and session structure in one place.

Therapy in Northbrook can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you start. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, may accept your plan, and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist in Northbrook when you are ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
