How do you work with clients with depression?

Is past trauma holding you back from reaching your fullest potential? I help people recognize where they’re getting stuck and figure out what’s holding them back so they can overcome those obstacles and reach their goals. When clients work with me they know they are receiving expert treatment with modern, effective techniques such as EMDR and DBT. 

I’m a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with experience in both inpatient and outpatient care, supporting patients with acute psychiatric needs, substance use disorders, and complex comorbidities. I thrive in team-based environments and focus on whole-person, evidence-based care that empowers patients and improves outcomes. I’m seeking inpatient or outpatient opportunities in the Chicago area where I can bring my skills, clinical insight, and passion for mental health to a dedicated care team.

Are you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and worn-down by anxiety, depression, or unable to cope with life changes? Does a lack of social skills, coping skills and emotional regulation, or grief/loss making it challenging to get a hold on life? Supervised by Arlette J. Back, LPC-S, we can work together to learn new ways of coping and managing challenging situations that life throws at you. By processing and learning new coping skills, you can learn to express emotions in a healthy way and face life head on! Please consult with me to see if you or your child is fit for virtual sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy to be used with kids, teens, and adults, helping clients become aware of dysfunctional or negative thinking patterns so that they can view challenging situations more clearly. In honoring the client’s autonomy, I tailor the treatment to the individual and build a relationship with the client to help improve mindfulness, stress, and develop new coping strategies. As a therapist, it is my job to provide support by helping you channel and develop your strengths, learn better coping skills, and heal along this journey we call life. I invite you to a safe and collaborative environment where we can explore your issues together and find a path to feeling better!

Being vulnerable and reaching out for help when you need it can be a challenge. Brené Brown states, “Vulnerability is not winning or losing. It’s having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control over the outcome. Vulnerability is not weakness; it’s our greatest measure of courage.” I am here to support adults facing mood, behavior, and thinking challenges, assisting them in navigating difficult times or circumstances they may be facing.
