“I graduated from Walden University MSN program with specialty in psychiatry in 11/2019 and became PMHNP board certified in December 2019. 

I am currently practicing at Northbrook Behavioral Health Hospital (NBHH), a 158-bed inpatient psychiatric facility that provides care to adults with a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses. I work on a 28-bed unit specializing in the treatment of adults experiencing behavioral and psychotic symptoms, as well as individuals with intellectual disabilities. 

The residency program was instrumental in shaping me into the Nurse Practitioner I am today. It played a critical role in helping me transition from the mindset of a Registered Nurse to that of an Advanced Practice Nurse. Through this experience, I was able to strengthen my clinical skills, refine my decision-making abilities, and build lasting confidence in my practice. The level of support provided by the residency program and CFG has been truly exceptional. There is a remarkable sense of collaboration, mentorship, and encouragement within the CFG family, which fosters both professional growth and personal development. I am deeply grateful for the guidance and support that have contributed so significantly to my journey.”
