I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and mom of four with a passion for helping people feel balanced, understood, and supported. I earned my nursing degree from Chamberlain University in Chicago and completed my psychiatric graduate training at the University of Kentucky. I’ve been proudly serving patients as a PMHNP since 2022.
I provide care for children (6+), teens, and adults, including parents, professionals, students, and anyone navigating life transitions or emotional challenges. My focus areas include: ADHD, anxiety & panic, depression, bipolar disorders, trauma & PTSD, emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, sleep issues, and mood and behavior concerns in children/teens.
Welcome! Join me on a journey to reclaim your sense of self, direction and empowerment. As a person who has struggled with life's hardships, I am compeled to help others in these difficult times. My credentials include; Licensed Professional Counselor (LCPC), Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) and an Illinois Certified Domestic Violence Professional (ICDVP).
I come to therapy with a background in education and theater, which has deeply shaped how I connect with people and understand the human experience. My work is rooted in helping individuals better define who they are, where they want to be, and what may be standing in the way of getting there.
I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on curiosity, honesty, and growth. Together, we’ll identify obstacles, explore patterns, and engage with challenges in a meaningful way until we find solutions that truly work for you. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
As a board-certified PMHNP, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step!

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Arlington Heights, IL
Searching for therapists in Arlington Heights starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want to address. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or work stress. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and experience before booking. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods, so their profile can help you understand how they work and whether their background fits your needs.
Arlington Heights has local therapy options, though availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can also expand your choices across Illinois, especially if you need evening appointments or prefer care from home. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new patients, offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and provide a free phone consultation. Reading bios closely can give you a clearer sense of communication style, session structure, and what to expect before you book.
Therapy in Arlington Heights 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 estimate before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, verify your insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
