“Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing and taking part to the profound transformation in a patients’ life after receiving treatment for their ADHD.”

I pride myself on listening attentively to the distinctive needs and aspirations of each patient, establishing a collaborative partnership aimed at achieving their specific goals. My ultimate objective is to achieve 80% or better efficacy in controlling ADHD symptoms for every patient. Through collaborative evaluation using tools like the ASRS scale, which utilizes patients’ self-assessment scores, we measure and track progress together.

The relationships I cultivate with my patients are paramount to their success and progress. Reflecting on my “”Why”” from nursing school, I am motivated by a simple yet powerful desire- to help others the way I would want to be helped. My commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care drives me to continuously strive for excellence in addressing the complex challenges faced by those with ADHD and Behavioral Health issues.

Clinical Expertise

I have been with ADHD Online since being hired in December 2021. Additionally, I serve as the Chief Medical Officer for a private primary care office in Northern Illinois where I also practice and see patients weekly.

Prior to my time in private practice I served local communities working for Federal Qualified Health Care Centers and during the initiation of the pandemic traveled throughout Illinois testing people in underserved communities then making the vaccine available to those who desired it.

Currently completing PMHNP (June 2025) at Chamberlain University

What made you want to join the ADHD Online team?

Nothing brings me more joy than witnessing and taking part to the profound transformation in a patients’ life after receiving treatment for their ADHD. I am committed to delivering a comprehensive approach that extends beyond mere medical treatment. This includes offering valuable education and insightful guidance on enhancing executive functioning for each patient. My approach focuses on developing skills that, coupled with medication, aim to reduce or eliminate the need for medication in the future.

Curious about stimulant or non-stimulant approaches?

These terms refer to certain approaches to treat diagnosed ADHD. Mentavi Health / ADHD Online may provide stimulant approaches (certain medications under medical treatment that are generally considered Class II controlled substances) or non-stimulant approaches (medications generally not considered Class II, and/or therapy and coaching not related to medication).

A diagnosis and initial conversation with our treatment clinicians is key to the best path for you. The diagnosis is a key first step to determine if you have ADHD or other related conditions. Approximately 60% of patients with ADHD have co-occurring conditions such as anxiety or depression, for example. At the same time, patients who believe they have ADHD may not even have it. For those who do, there can be a variety of considerations into what kind of treatment works best to meet the patient where they’re at.

If you are not feeling right, your journey starts with the first step of diagnostic evaluation.

There may be a brief delay in service today between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM ET. Thank you for your patience — we look forward to assisting you shortly.
