You're doing everything you're supposed to do — working, showing up, holding it together — and it still feels harder than it should. Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down, a low mood that's overstayed its welcome, or a lifetime of "why can't I just focus?" that finally deserves a real answer. Or maybe it's not you — it's your child, and you've hit waitlist after waitlist trying to get them help. You want a provider who listens, explains, and includes you in every decision — not a rushed 10-minute appointment.
I'm a dual board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner (DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC) providing medication management for anxiety, depression, and ADHD in kids (6+), teens, and adults. I blend evidence-based prescribing with lifestyle support, and offer GeneSight genetic testing and objective QbCheck ADHD assessment to take the guesswork out of treatment.
I see patients age 6 and up online across Illinois, Wisconsin, & Washington, with short wait times— usually days, not months. Most major insurance plans are accepted, and I'm happy to verify your benefits before the first appointment. Reach out today and let's map a path back to feeling like yourself.

I specialize in working with adults dealing with depression, anxiety, and ADHD — often in combination. We move quickly from assessment to a clear, personalized plan that fits your life and how your mind works. Most of my patients feel more grounded and in control within the first month, with steady, meaningful progress from there.
