Accepting Clients

Compassionate psychiatric care for young people and adults seeking balance, healing, and insight into the roots of anxiety and depression.

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner in Chicago, IL

About My Clients

I work with young people and adults who want to understand the “why” behind their symptoms, not just treat them. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, or low mood, or are navigating burnout, ADHD, or relationship challenges. My goal is to help you uncover the patterns that keep you stuck and build practical tools for lasting emotional balance and self-confidence.

My Background and Approach

I am a doctorally prepared, board-certified Psychiatric and Family Nurse Practitioner and a Duke University graduate. My background in psychiatry and primary care allows me to see the full picture of your health—mind, body, and environment. I provide medication management and supportive therapy for anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, and substance-use concerns. My sessions are collaborative, grounded, and tailored to your pace. Clients describe me as warm, curious, and attentive. I believe that understanding the root causes of your symptoms opens the door to genuine healing. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that helps you feel more balanced, confident, and in control of your mental health.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that mental health care should be accessible, stigma-free, and deeply personal. Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, respected, and safe to grow. I’m LGBTQ+ affirming and support diversity in all forms. My practice welcomes people from varied backgrounds and identities, and I approach each session with empathy and cultural humility. I value curiosity, honesty, and collaboration—I see therapy and medication management as tools for empowerment, not labels. Outside of work, I advocate for mental-health awareness and equitable access to care. I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their strengths and rediscover what makes them feel whole.
