Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Hamilton Township, NJ


Hi, I’m a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I graduated from Drexel University with my Master's degree in Nursing. I then completed my Post-Graduate Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I have over twenty years of experience working in healthcare. Psych has always been my passion. My experiences encompass working with clients across the life span, including Child and Adolescents, Adult, and Geriatric patient populations. I’ve provided services to clients presenting with many psychiatric disorders, such as Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and more. I’m in the belief that mental health wellbeing is a priority. Human beings are resilient. Holistic care is the key to promoting better patient outcomes. Therefore, I believe that with an evidence-based practice treatment plan consisting of psychotherapy and/or a combination of psychotherapy and medication management, one will be able to control their mental health.


I’m a very compassionate, caring, and empathetic person. I strive to provide holistic care and collaborate with my clients to develop a treatment plan that they are comfortable with.

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 Chester

Searching for psychiatrists in Chester starts with understanding which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through different approaches. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, reading each psychiatrist’s listed specialties can help you see whether their training matches what you want support with.

Chester is a smaller community, so local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger New Jersey cities. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still letting you search for psychiatrists licensed in New Jersey. Psychiatric care often includes shorter, less frequent medication management appointments than therapy sessions. Some psychiatrists also offer therapy, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, review bios for availability, appointment format, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Chester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you search for psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and see your estimated session cost before you book. Every psychiatrist listed is accepting new patients, so you can review 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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
