I completed medical school at USF in Tampa, Florida and I completed psychiatry residency at GW in Washington, DC. I specialize in depression and anxiety.
I seek to provide culturally affirming, holistic care that integrates the mind, body, and spirit. As a multicultural, neurodivergent psychiatrist and daughter of immigrants raised in Chicago, I bring both clinical training and lived experience to our work together. My own journey through burnout and the process of learning to slow down and listen to what my body needed has also shaped the care I provide. It has grounded me in genuine curiosity, humility, and a deep respect for the wisdom you already carry.
I am commited to providing compassionate patient-centered mental health care

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Aurora, IL
Finding psychiatrists in Aurora starts with knowing the type of mental health care you want. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on patterns, coping skills, or life concerns. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Aurora has local psychiatry options across the city, and virtual appointments can add more flexibility if office location, commute time, or scheduling matters to you. Psychiatric medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare psychiatrists in Aurora, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person care, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Provider bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they commonly support, and what to expect from the first visit.
Psychiatric care in Aurora can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and find psychiatrists who accept your plan. Every provider listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
