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.

With over a decade of psychiatric nursing experience, I've built a practice around making people feel truly understood from the very first conversation. I'm fluent in English, Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu, and I've found that meeting someone in their first language changes everything about how safe they feel opening up. I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, and eating disorders, combining medication management with therapeutic support to care for the whole person. My practice is fully virtual, so you can access care from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

Hi, I’m Hannah, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a diverse background in critical care, trauma, and outpatient mental health. I’ve spent more than a decade working with individuals across the lifespan—from complex medical settings to telepsychiatry—helping people navigate mood disorders, anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, ADHD, and the stressors that come with major life transitions.

My clinical approach blends evidence-based medication management with supportive, collaborative care. I believe treatment works best when we tailor it to your unique goals, experiences, and strengths. Many of my clients are young parents, students, or adults balancing work, relationships, and emotional challenges, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, empowered, and supported.

Happy patient looking away

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 Illinois

Finding psychiatrists in Illinois starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can also diagnose and prescribe through their licenses. Therapists provide talk therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.

Illinois has a wide range of mental health professionals across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options may vary depending on where you live. Someone in Chicago may have more nearby offices to compare, while someone in Springfield, Peoria, or Lake County may use virtual appointments to expand their choices. Psychiatric care often uses shorter, less frequent visits than therapy, especially for medication management. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy. As you compare profiles, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each psychiatrist describes their communication style before booking.

Psychiatric care in Illinois 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 and other licensed prescribers who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans, so you can browse psychiatrists, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
