About

A critical care foundation, now focused on behavioral health.

I've been in healthcare since 2008, with the majority of my career spent in critical care — working with patients and families through some of their most acute, high-stakes medical moments. That environment shaped how I practice: fast, accurate clinical judgment, clear communication under pressure, and a commitment to treating the whole person rather than just a set of symptoms. In 2024, I brought that same depth of experience into psychiatry, becoming a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Today, through Mindful Health, LLC, I provide comprehensive telehealth psychiatric care for patients age 6 and up across Illinois, grounded in the clinical rigor I built over more than a decade and a half in medicine.

My approach is patient-centered from the first visit on. You know your life, your history, and your goals better than anyone — my role is to bring the clinical expertise, lay out your options clearly, and make decisions with you, not for you. Every treatment plan is a collaboration, and it's built around what actually matters to you.

“My goal isn't just symptom management — it's helping you become the best version of yourself, and build a life that feels genuinely happy and healthy.”

How I Practice

Comprehensive psychiatric care, start to finish.

Every patient begins with a thorough evaluation. From there, care is ongoing, collaborative, and adjusted as your needs change.

01

Psychiatric Evaluation

A comprehensive initial assessment of your history, symptoms, and goals to build an accurate, individualized picture of your care needs.

02

Medication Management

Thoughtful prescribing and ongoing monitoring, with regular follow-up to track what's working and adjust what isn't.

03

Ongoing Care

Psychiatric care isn't one-and-done. I work with patients over time, coordinating with therapists and other providers when helpful.
