I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner at Relief Mental Health in St. Charles, Illinois. I provide compassionate, personalized care using a holistic approach that addresses physical, psychological, spiritual, and emotional well-being. My practice integrates traditional psychiatric care with alternative therapies to create tailored treatment plans that meet the unique needs of each individual. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where patients feel heard, understood, and valued.
I specialize in the evaluation and management of psychiatric medications to develop comprehensive treatment plans. In addition to psychiatric assessments and medication management, I can connect patients to adjunctive treatments, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), psychedelic therapy (Spravato esketamine), and talk therapy.
I specialize in women’s mental health, supporting challenges like postpartum anxiety, OCD, and depression. My approach includes active listening, motivational interviewing, and counseling, incorporating faith and spirituality when it aligns with patient values.
