Hello! I am a committed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience supporting patients through their mental health journeys. I specialize in assessing, diagnosing, and treating various mental health conditions using a holistic approach that integrates pharmacology, psychotherapy and supportive therapy. I tailor treatment plans to each individual's unique needs, working closely with patients and their families to ensure a clear understanding of the path to recovery. Patient education is at the core of my practice. I prioritize helping you understand your symptoms and equipping you with healthy coping strategies. Your well-being is my top priority, and I’m here to support you at every stage of your journey. Whether through prescribing medication, conducting physical assessments, or offering preventive care. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I believe in treating each person as a unique individual, deserving of a personalized approach to mental health care. My goal is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your strengths, and the challenges you face, empowering you to make informed decisions about your life. Rather than just prescribing medication, I focus on helping you understand the connection between your mind and body, so we can develop effective strategies tailored to your needs. My aim is to guide you towards a life rooted in self-compassion, kindness, and resilience. My treatment approach emphasizes a comprehensive and individualized plan for mental health care. I start with a thorough assessment to understand each client’s unique symptoms, history, and needs. This forms the foundation for a personalized treatment plan, which may involve medication management, therapeutic interventions, or a combination of both. I believe in integrating psychopharmacology with psychotherapy to address not just the symptoms but also the underlying causes, fostering a holistic approach to healing. My focus is on empowering clients to take an active role in their treatment, while developing practical coping strategies and building resilience to improve their overall well-being.

Working from a feminist theoretical perspective, I feel that your unique voice deserves to be believed, be heard, and be taken seriously. I believe in creating a trusted space in which you feel comfortable to work through your difficulties, without fear of judgment or discrimination. My area of specialty is addiction. I am a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC). I am also able to treat addictive behaviors such as gambling or spending. I have experience working with both individuals and groups struggling with severe addictions. I am able to connect you with higher levels of care if you need more support in your recovery beyond the outpatient level. I also specialize in LGBTQ+ and women's issues, specifically with transgender folks. I have helped many clients begin their gender transitions, including hormone replacement therapy and gender-affirming surgeries. Beyond my areas of specialty, I am able to work with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, personality disorders, and more. Let's see if we are a good fit! I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wayne State University in 2013, and my Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of Detroit Mercy in 2019. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC), which is a board certification. I am fully licensed in Illinois as well (LCPC).
