I graduated with a doctorate degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago and have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field. Many of my patients come to me because they did not feel heard by their previous providers. I believe the most effective psychiatric care is collaborative. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their treatment. Once the therapeutic relationship is established, I give patients tools and knowledge that allow them to grow and thrive. Every recommendation is evidence-based, thoughtfully considered, and individualized. Whether you are seeking an initial psychiatric evaluation, medication management, or ongoing support, I am here to provide care that fits your needs.
I utilize a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach and currently hold two certifications in eating disorder treatment. I am passionate on sharing my knowledge with current and future mental health providers through supervision and guest lecturing at universities.
