Welcome! I’m so happy you’re here!
My name is Breigh and I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP). As a PMHNP I can diagnose psychiatric conditions, manage and prescribe psychiatric medications, order lab work, provide brief psychotherapy, and consult with other providers on your whole health treatment team. While I work with patients across the lifespan, I have a special passion for working with children, adolescents, and young adults.
My entire career has been focused in psychiatric settings– and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Before joining Inspire, I worked at Compass Health Center, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital, and Linden Oaks Behavioral Health. I also taught as a Behavioral Health Clinical Instructor for students in an advanced Master of Science in Nursing program at Elmhurst University.
Having worked in almost every level of psychiatric care, including Inpatient, PHP, IOP and Outpatient, I have a deep understanding of our mental health system and have experience treating a wide variety of diagnoses.
As a PMHNP, I partner with my patients and view their care through a holistic lens, understanding that as life’s stressors fluctuate, so might the needs of pharmacological and behavioral interventions. Whatever the current struggle, we will get through it together!
I can’t wait to work with you!
