Professional Nurse

“I am a Board Certified Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner with 8 years of experience with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Insomnia, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Mood Disorder, Substance Abuse, Alcohol Dependence, Bipolar Disorder, and Panic Attack Disorders.”

About Me

As a Board Certified Adult Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner, I bring eight years of experience. I support adults through diverse mental health challenges. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, insomnia, or complex mood and trauma-related conditions. Our sessions offer a space to explore your concerns and build practical strategies. This background makes me a suitable match for those seeking compassionate, comprehensive support for their emotional well-being.

Approach

My approach centers on combining careful assessment with clear, practical steps tailored to your life and symptoms. In Des Plaines or through secure online sessions in English, I focus sessions on pinpointing patterns—sleep, attention, mood—and testing simple strategies you can try between visits. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace: we review what’s working, adjust plans, and use focused measures to track change. People looking for structured, evidence-informed support that feels grounded and doable often find this approach helpful.
