Welcome , I am a dual board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), holding national board certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). With over 21 years of experience across diverse areas of healthcare, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and personalized mental health care.My clinical expertise includes the evaluation and management of anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD bipolar disorder, trauma-related disorders, OCD, and substance use disorders. I strive to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients can achieve balance and healing.
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.
Welcome! I’m a board-certified psychiatrist and a multi-platform Patient-Choice Award recipient. If you’re looking for a smaller practice to help with medication management +/- talk therapy, I may be the right fit for you.

I offer telehealth appointments, including evenings and weekends, so getting care fits into your life rather than the other way around.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Crystal Lake
Finding psychiatrists in Crystal Lake starts with knowing what type of mental health care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication as part of care. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work with you on concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship stress. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their training matches your needs.
In a smaller market like Crystal Lake, local psychiatry appointment options may be more limited than in larger parts of Illinois. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still giving you access to psychiatrists who are licensed in Illinois. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management visits than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people see both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, session format, and profile details that explain their communication style and approach to care.
Psychiatric care in Crystal Lake can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search psychiatrists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see an estimated cost upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
