(she/her)
Hey there! I am a dual certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner located in Central Illinois. I have been a nurse practitioner for 5 years and have provided care for all ages at all stages of life. I hope to help normalize mental illness through education and to help all my patients learn to not just live with their mental illness but to at times embrace it.
In our first session, we will introduce each other and then discuss what brought you here. This will help me to create a comprehensive and tailored treatment plan all focused on you.
Having realized at a young age that my brain worked differently than my peers, helped to give me the insight and compassion towards treating my patients. I will always see my patients as more than their illness and strive to help them see themselves that way.
I enjoy working with all ages in all walks of life. I hope to help the patient who is just starting to recognize that maybe their brain works a little differently, to the parent who is seeing that their child may be a little different from the other children , or the patient who already has a diagnosed mental illness but is struggling to manage it.
Compassion Focused
All my treatment plans are made in collaboration with you, with compassion at the forefront. There will never be any judgement, blame, or assumptions made while in my care.
Psychoeducation
Living with mental illness is hard but understanding your mental illness is the first step to making it easier. I will always have open and honest conversations with you regarding your illness so that you can understand it better.

Dagny makes it easy to tackle mental health. She is absolutely fantastic. She listens. More providers like her are needed to empower people to address their mental health. She makes it easy. She is wonderful.

I have been trying to find a therapist for YEARS that I vibe with and that makes me feel instantly comfortable and understood. Within moments of meeting Dagny, I felt that instant connection. She listened, but she was also funny and real. She validated the things I've struggled with and gave me immediate action. I was disappointed when the hour was up and can't wait for my next appointment.

I seriously love Dagny! She’s incredibly open minded, supportive, & really knows how to listen. She gives thoughtful advice & always makes me feel comfortable & understood. She’s kind, real, and straightforward, which I truly appreciate. She doesn’t sugarcoat things & helps me figure out exactly what needs to be done and how to do it. Every session leaves me feeling more confident & focused. I’m so grateful to have her & would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for real, honest support.
