I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Mind.Body.Balance, Psychiatric Services. My work is rooted in a holistic, patient-centered approach that recognizes the connection between mental health, physical health, life experience, and developmental stage. I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from Penn State University and my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University. I then went on to become board-certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and also a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Provider..

With a clinical background in maternity and perinatal care, I have extensive experience supporting pregnant and postpartum individuals and their families across hospital, outpatient, and community settings. My perspective is also greatly shaped by my lived experience as a mother of eight, which deepens my understanding of the emotional, physical, and mental demands of caregiving and major life transitions. I am particularly passionate about women’s mental health, with focused expertise in mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, hormonal changes, and reproductive and perinatal psychiatry.

While women’s mental health is a specialty of mine, I also provide comprehensive psychiatric care for adolescents and adults of all genders. I offer diagnostic evaluations, medication management, and psychotherapy tailored to each person’s unique needs. My approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and evidence-based with an emphasis on creating a space where patients feel heard, supported, and empowered on their journey toward balance, clarity, and long-term mental wellness
