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.
I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with several years of experience, now building my own private practice so I can give each person the focused, personalized care they deserve. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD — conditions that can feel isolating, but often respond well to the right support and the right provider. I offer telehealth appointments, including evenings and weekends, so getting care fits into your life rather than the other way around. Whether you're looking for medication management, ongoing mental health support, or simply a place to start, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
I am commited to providing compassionate patient-centered mental health care
I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with full practice authority and more than 10 years of experience in psychiatry and nursing. I provide compassionate, evidence-based care for individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, insomnia, bipolar disorder, burnout, life transitions, and the unique challenges faced by college students, young adults, and Gen Z.
My treatment approach is personalized and integrates medication management, psychotherapy, and holistic strategies, including Complementary and Integrative Psychiatry, to support both mental and physical 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 Therapist in Homewood
Finding psychiatrists in Homewood starts with understanding the kind of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, read each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and background to see whether their training matches what you want help with.
In a smaller community like Homewood, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas, so virtual appointments can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you. Psychiatric care also tends to follow a different schedule than therapy. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, compare availability, appointment format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Provider bios can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what conditions they work with, and what to expect in an appointment.
Psychiatric care in Homewood 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 care begins. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your insurance, location, schedule, and appointment preferences. You can review bios, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, 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.
