Founder & Medical Provider

​​

My nursing career began in 2010 when I first became a Registered Nurse. In 2017, I graduated from Maryville University in St. Louis, MO with my Master’s Degree in Nursing and became a Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner licensed in Illinois. I have been blessed to work in many facets of healthcare since then; however, truly found my love for mental health in 2020 when I completed substance use training from Rush University in Chicago. I was doing family practice at the time and starting a medication assisted treatment program at that time. In 2022 I began working solely in mental health and substance abuse medicine; therefore, decided to become dual certified as a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Counselor

 

I am a wife, mom, USMC veteran, and a licensed social worker. I have worked in social work for nearly 15 years. My joy is helping others improve their lives in any way I can. I have experience in suicide prevention and intervention, substance use disorder treatment, and mental health counseling. I also have a passion for working with clients who live with ADHD. I believe in holistic person-centered treatment that addresses one’s overall wellness. I utilize a variety of modalities including CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), and ACT (acceptance commitment therapy) to help clients manage their everyday stressors, make positive changes, and attain their goals. Whether you simply need to process everyday life, develop healthy coping skills to better manage anxiety or depression, or need help building a sober support network; we can work together to affect positive change and improve your life!
