I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe good mental health care starts with an actual conversation—not a checklist, a quick prescription, and a "see you in three months."

Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent over a decade working in emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing. That experience taught me that what's happening with your mental health rarely exists in a vacuum. Your physical health, hormones, relationships, stress, and everyday life all deserve a seat at the table.

I have a particular passion for helping women navigate ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, depression, PMDD, perimenopause, and those wonderfully complicated seasons of life when everything seems to be changing at once.

My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, and collaborative. I'm not here to throw medications at symptoms and cross my fingers. I'm here to ask thoughtful questions, connect the dots, explain your options, and help you find a treatment plan that actually fits your life.

You can expect honest conversations, education without the medical jargon, a little humor when the moment calls for it, and absolutely no judgment. Most importantly, you'll always have a voice in your care. You're the expert on your lived experience, and my job is to bring the clinical expertise to help you make informed decisions.

Because you deserve more than someone who listens just long enough to write a prescription. You deserve someone who truly listens.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner who has worked across outpatient psychiatry, private practice, and long-term care. That range has shaped how I approach mental health: I believe every person's situation is unique, and I don't come in with a preset agenda. You can expect honesty, transparency, and a genuine commitment to understanding what you need. I'm building this practice on integrity, and my goal is to make sure you always know what's happening with your care and why.

28280 Portage Point, Millsboro, DE

At Shore House Wellness Collective, I help individuals better understand their mental health and take meaningful steps toward feeling more like themselves again. I work with patients experiencing anxiety, depression, mood changes, trauma, life transitions, substance use and recovery, stress, sleep concerns, or simply a sense that something isn’t quite right.

My approach centers on comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication prescribing and ongoing medication management, combined with brief, evidence-based psychotherapy when appropriate. I believe medication should be individualized—not simply prescribed—and that patients deserve to understand their treatment options, potential benefits, and what to expect. I work collaboratively with you to identify what is working, what isn’t, and when adjustments may be needed.

Psychotherapy is often brief, focused, and goal-oriented rather than open-ended. Depending on your needs, sessions may incorporate supportive therapy, coping strategies, psychoeducation, behavioral approaches, stress management, and practical tools designed to help you make progress between visits.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right psychiatrist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark

Finding the right psychiatrist in Newark starts with understanding what kind of care you need. Psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other prescribing clinicians can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy. Both can be valid starting points, depending on your needs. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and bio to see whether their experience matches what you want help with.

In a smaller city like Newark, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options while keeping care accessible from home. Some people prefer an office near Chestnut Hill, Laird, Elkton Pike, or nearby areas, while others look for virtual appointments that fit their schedule. Psychiatry visits, especially medication management appointments, are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare options, look at appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and what each bio says about communication style and session structure.

Psychiatric care in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who match your needs, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost upfront. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, and Headway verifies that the clinician is accepting new patients with your plan, so you can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
