Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in private practice since 2020. Beforehand, I worked in Chicago schools as a school social worker and paraprofessional.

As a triple board-certified nurse practitioner ( nurse midwife, family practitioner, and mental health), I believe that caring for your mind is just as important as caring for your body. I have many years of experience in the perinatal mental health field, but I enjoy caring for all walks of life. I currently care for clients aged 10-65 for many conditions, including depression, anxiety, mood/bipolar, PTSD, and perinatal disorders, among others.

You don't have to keep carrying it all alone.

Do you find yourself constantly overthinking, feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or putting everyone else's needs before your own?

Perhaps you're struggling in your relationships, navigating a major life transition, or simply feeling disconnected from the person you want to be.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.
