Life can feel like a lot sometimes, whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, addiction, or the emotional weight of caring for a loved one. Maybe things feel tangled, or you're used to being the strong one for everyone else. You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I want to understand your story, what’s been heavy lately, and what you’re hoping will feel different. Together, we can begin to make sense of it all and help you feel more steady, supported, and like yourself again.

Hi, I'm Makeda (Kee)! I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where you can show up exactly as you are. Whether you're navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, or life transitions, I'm here to help you build practical tools, gain confidence, and move toward the life you want. I'd be honored to support you on your healing journey.

My path to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner wasn't just a career choice; it was a personal mission. After watching a loved one navigate the complexities of mental health, I realized how much the right support—or the lack of it—can change the trajectory of a life. Because of this, I’m not just focused on symptoms; I’m focused on you.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, and neurocognitive disorders, providing telehealth care throughout Illinois. I take great pride in my ability to break down complex clinical terms into understandable language, ensuring you never feel left in the dark about your own brain. When I'm not in the "office," I’m usually staying active, cooking, or listening to an educational podcast to stay sharp on the latest in wellness.

I believe therapy should be a safe, supportive space where clients can show up as they are. My approach is warm, holistic, and grounded in building genuine connection while helping clients explore their challenges, strengths, and goals. My background includes case management, program leadership, vocational rehabilitation, and supporting individuals through trauma, life transitions, recovery, and housing or employment-related stress. I work collaboratively with clients to help them feel seen, supported, and empowered toward healing, growth, and lasting change.

I believe that change and growth happen within a safe and secure relationship. I see symptoms as meaningful, often serving a deeper purpose, and I approach them with curiosity and compassion to help you explore what they may be trying to communicate.
