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 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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Park Ridge
Finding psychiatrists in Park Ridge starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support for concerns like anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder. Medication management often includes reviewing symptoms, current concerns, and how your care plan is working over time. Some people start with a psychiatrist, some start with a therapist, and some work with both.
In a smaller city like Park Ridge, local appointment options may be more limited than in Chicago or other nearby areas, so virtual psychiatry can expand the number of psychiatrists available to you. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so scheduling fit matters. As you compare psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading bios can also help you understand each psychiatrist’s areas of focus, communication style, and whether they also provide therapy.
Psychiatric care in Park Ridge 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 expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your preferences and shows which psychiatrists are accepting new patients and may be in-network with your plan. You can 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.
