As a provider, I enjoy connecting with clients and getting to know them on a personal level. Once I can understand the person and their journey, together we can develop goals for achieving and maintaining their mental health. I understand that reaching out for help is not always easy, but I am willing to meet them where they are. My passion is treating adults with mood and anxiety disorders, PTSD, substance use disorders, BIPOC clients, and LGBTQIA+ identifying clients. I am currently accepting new patients, both in person and virtual.

I have had an outpatient practice for 41 years. During my residency at Michael Reese Hospital, I taught a psychiatry course to medical students. After graduation I worked at Illinois Masonic Hospital in a women's health clinic addressing the emotional needs of women. I also worked at both a nursing home and assisted living facility doing both talk therapy and medication. I enjoy working with both young and older adults from varied backgrounds. I think I am very good at making people comfortable, as many patients come in afraid of therapy. The therapy and medication is decided upon

Hi, I am Kyle (he/him/his) and I am a board certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have been a mental health nurse for over 20 years and have worked in numerous health care settings. My approach to care is greatly informed by my nursing background and the healing power of an affirming, collaborative relationship. I aim to provide holistic, person-centered care utilizing trauma informed, anti-oppressive, and harm reduction approaches. I offer both psychotherapy and medication management. I believe medication can be a helpful tool to turn down the dial of distress so that we can better access our capacity to heal.
