As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner- Board Certified (PMHNP-BC) I perform diagnostic assessment, medication management, and treatment of those with mental health disorders. I focus on individuals with eating disorders, disordered eating, body dysmorphia, and BPD, but have openings for any diagnosis. As someone with personal experience of having an eating disorder and BPD I know how hard it is to find providers understanding of the unique challenges faced by the population. I strive to make sure my patients are heard, and work with them to help get them the proper medication and treatment.

As a doctorally prepared Psychiatric/Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I strive to educate and empower patients to be active in their healthcare decisions. Rather than simply writing a prescription and sending you on your way; I aim to understand your priorities, past experiences, overall functioning, and goals. I am then able to offer a variety of evidence-based treatment options so that we can develop a plan as a team. We'll track symptoms and functioning before and throughout treatment to accelerate recovery and maintain remission.

Ideally my patient is as invested in their care as I am. They could have a variety of diagnoses but the thing they have in common is they are willing to give the process time, are open to new ideas, and know there is no magic pill to fix all their problems. My patients want to get to the best version of themselves and are willing to try therapy as well as medications to help them reach that goal. My patient wants an empathetic, listening provider who can guide their care based on the evidence, but tailored to their individual needs.

I have throughly enjoyed working with neurodivergent people as well as developmental disorders. I also enjoy working with people who battle addiction. It is amazing to watch the transformations in lives.

Since 2010, I have practiced medicine as a psychiatric Physician Assistant in IL, CA, and IN, working in outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, and inpatient settings. Ultimately, my goal is to help end the unfortunate stigma and lack of resources that plague those with mental illness. And mental illness does not discriminate - it can afflict anyone at virtually any point during the lifespan and in any socioeconomic population. But, it is debilitating. It is often hard to identify or understand the symptoms and consequences of mental illness if it’s happening to you…let alone explain it to others. Let me help you!

My primary goal for each and every one of my patients is to assist them in reaching their optimal state of health in order that they may resume living with renewed hope and passion. Though my training and focus initiated in psychiatry, I believe that problems related to depressed mood, insomnia, weight gain/loss, fatigue, and anxiety are actually only symptoms of dysfunction and or inflammation in other systems of the body. These underlying causes of poor health must be identified and treated correctly in order for the patient to achieve optimal physical and mental health.

The stigma of mental health disorders and/or addiction often stops people from seeking assistance for several reasons. Fear of judgement. Fear of being treated like a number, not a human being. Fear of being "told" what the treatment plan is. I believe in creating a safe space for the patient and provider to build trust, determine long-term and short-term goals which leads to the start of a successful journey together. Transportation, time and availability can present roadblocks to seeking assistance. Telehealth services are available as well as crisis appointments.
