Hello,
I believe prioritizing Mental Health is key to healthy living. I am a board certified family and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 8 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. Admitting the need for help and taking the first step to finding help can be challenging. I commend you for that! My focus has been on teen's and adults struggling with anxiety and depression.
My nursing career began in 2010 when I first became a Registered Nurse. In 2017 I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO with my master’s degree in nursing and became a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) licensed in Illinois.

With a strong foundation in both primary care and mental health, my approach aligns overall wellness and hormone optimization with physical, mental, and lifestyle well-being.

Find the right psychiatrist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Downers Grove, IL
Finding psychiatrists in Downers Grove starts with understanding what type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication, while therapists focus on talk therapy. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, a prescriber may be a fit. Both therapy and psychiatry can be valid starting points, depending on what you want help with.
Downers Grove has local psychiatry options, though availability may be more limited than in larger Illinois cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for someone licensed in Illinois. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people choose to work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare profiles, look at appointment times, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and how they describe their communication style.
Psychiatric care in Downers Grove can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, accept your plan, and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to see an estimated cost before booking, then review bios 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.
