I'm a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner in Illinois. I have worked in the healthcare field for over 22 years with experience in emergency medicine, women's health, neonatology, and psychiatry. I offer psychotropic medication management as well as trauma-focused psychotherapy. Utilizing a holistic approach, I provide treatment for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma-related disorders. Each client's treatment plan is highly individualized and developed utilizing a shared decision-making model.
My healthcare background and expertise in trauma recovery enable me to provide dedicated support to clients on their journey toward healing. I offer a variety of modalities, including EMDR, Trauma Resiliency Model, and Safe and Sound Protocol, with options for traditional one-hour therapy sessions or extended EMDR intensive services.
As a mental health professional, my primary objective is to establish a secure and non-judgmental space for my clients. I believe in meeting my clients where they are; and collaboratively, we will develop a treatment plan that aligns with their values and goals. Let me assist you in your path toward healing and recovery.
