About Us

Since 2010, I have practiced medicine as a psychiatric Physician Assistant in IL, CA, and IN, working in outpatient, partial hospitalization, residential, and inpatient settings. Ultimately, my goal is to help end the unfortunate stigma and lack of resources that plague those with mental illness. And mental illness does not discriminate - it can afflict anyone at virtually any point during the lifespan and in any socioeconomic population. But, it is debilitating. It is often hard to identify or understand the symptoms and consequences of mental illness if it’s happening to you…let alone explain it to others. Let me help you! , Aside from general psychiatry, I have a strong background of experience in sleep medicine, eating disorders, complex childhood trauma, and addiction. While I have an undeniable passion for working with adolescents and young adults, I truly enjoy helping any patient achieve mental wellness…however that may look - with or without the use of psychotropics! , If you are looking for a psychiatric provider to get to know you and to work WITH you, come see me. If you want or are wondering if you need psychiatric care, your provider has to get on your level and meet you where you are at. I am sensitive and relatable, yet comprehensive and thorough. If you are in crisis, Call/txt 988 or 911…and then come see me!
