Hello, and welcome! I'm glad you're here. I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, chronic health conditions, stress, and life's unexpected challenges.
I believe emotional and physical health are deeply connected.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with over a decade of experience in mental health care, supporting individuals across inpatient and outpatient settings. Through my work, I have cared for clients with a wide range of needs, including chronic and severe mental health conditions, and I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate symptoms while trying to maintain daily life.
My care philosophy is centered on partnership. Treatment is not about taking over your care, but about working with you to explore your symptoms, goals, and values. Together, we develop a treatment plan that feels respectful, personalized, and empowering. If you have concerns or hesitations about medication, we will discuss all available options openly and thoughtfully, moving at a pace that feels right for you.
I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, and other mood and thought-related conditions. During the initial session, we focus on understanding your concerns, reviewing your history, and identifying practical steps toward improvement. Care may include psychiatric evaluation, medication management when appropriate, brief psychotherapy, education, and ongoing support.
I believe mental health care should feel supportive, clear, and collaborative—not rushed or overwhelming.
You do not have to face these challenges alone. My role is to help you reduce symptoms, strengthen coping skills, and regain balance so you can function at your best and move forward with confidence and stability.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Elgin, IL
Searching for therapists in Elgin starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that align with your needs. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their approach, what sessions may look like, and whether their style feels like a fit.
In a smaller city like Elgin, the number of nearby in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger parts of the Chicago area. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Illinois. When reviewing therapists, consider appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, focus areas, and session format in one place.
Therapy in Elgin can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you find licensed therapists who match your preferences, lets you check insurance coverage for your plan, and offers virtual or in-person appointments. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
