I am a Clinical therapist with extensive experience providing mental health services in telehealth settings. My background includes working with a diverse range of clients ensuring personalized and effective care tailored to your needs.
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. I have been blessed to work in many facets of healthcare since and has also become a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). 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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Aurora
Finding family therapists in Aurora starts with understanding what your family wants to work on together. Family therapy can support concerns like parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, and communication breakdowns across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not only one person. As you compare Aurora therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, parent-child work, or support for couples and families.
In Aurora, your search may include therapists with offices near home, school, or work, along with virtual options that make it easier to involve more family members. Session attendance can vary based on your goals — a therapist may meet with the full family, a parent and child, partners, or individual family members at different points. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on session structure, scheduling flexibility, and communication style. A free phone consultation can also help you ask how they approach family counseling services in Aurora, IL.
Therapy in Aurora can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated costs before you book. You can search for therapists in Aurora, IL who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review detailed bios, 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.
