Medication management in Lakeview Chicago with a psychiatric nurse practitioner
Despite how digitally connected we’ve become, many people still feel alone, stressed, or emotionally exhausted—especially in a fast-paced city like Chicago. For many people, this can feel isolating and overwhelming. Because of this, I prioritize creating a space where clients feel heard, supported, and respected. Having personally navigated similar challenges, I bring both clinical expertise and empathy to the work we’ll
do together.

I meet clients where they are, and together we develop a treatment plan that supports your goals. This may include psychiatric medication management, behavioral interventions, or support for addiction recovery.

My experience spans crisis intervention, shelter-based medicine, and street outreach. As a result, this work has shaped my deep commitment to accessible and trauma-informed psychiatric care. I earned my BA from the University of Wisconsin–Madison, my BSN from Michigan State University, and my MSN from. DePaul University. My post-master’s training focuses exclusively on psychiatry and the treatment of substance use disorders.
