Meet The Team

I help adults who are living with neurodivergence along with its' mood and medical complications as well as depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, C-PTSD,  to reduce or resolve their concerning symptoms, feel more confident, and live a healthier life.  My own mental health journey is informed by successfully managing my own inattentive type ADHD and connective tissue disorder. 

​

I am a fully licensed, ANCC board-certified, psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner with over 10 years experience as a prescriber. My education includes a Master's in Nursing from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Eastern Illinois University. I currently serve as a peer-reviewer for the Journal of Psychosocial Nursing.  

 ​I have worked in a variety of traditional psychiatric treatment settings. These include inpatient psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric services for medically hospitalized patients (a.k.a., psychosomatic medicine or consult liaison psychiatry), in-person outpatient psychiatry, and telehealth outpatient psychiatry.

 I offer comprehensive psychiatric services to support your mental health journey. I specialize in neurodivergence, ADHD, depression, anxiety, bipolar II, PTSD, C-PTSD, and alcohol use disorder. As an ANCC board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over three years of experience and a healthcare career spanning over nine years, I  design precision treatment plans rooted in the latest evidence-based practices. My personal experience with inattentive ADHD deeply informs my compassionate, individualized approach to care.

I help patients with all things administrative!  I have over a decade of  customer service in the food and beverage industry, and five years of IT experience that gives me a broad skillset to handle all kinds of situations. I can walk patients through insurance procedures, scheduling appointments, technology troubleshooting, working with pharmacies and any other questions that come up. I am patient, kind, and quick with a joke or funny video if you ask nicely. :)
