My goal is to provide a welcoming, non judgmental environment where patients feel comfortable to work through their mental health concerns and find solutions that best fit their needs, whether that be through psychotherapy, medication, lifestyle modification, or a combination of these. I completed my Physician Assistant Studies degree at Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, before moving to Chicago to start my career. In school and in my time as a family medicine physician assistant, I gained experience working with patients of diverse backgrounds on a variety of diagnoses including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use disorders, and more.
I recognize that seeking help for mental health can be difficult and I strive to provide a holistic approach to treatment that is accessible for all. I look forward to supporting my patients in making long lasting, meaningful changes that will enhance their quality of life.
