As a former Registered Dietitian, I can help you navigate evidence-based supplements and nutrition to support your mental health.

Hello! I am a nurse practitioner (NP) who is experienced in both Psychiatry and Primary Care. Before graduating with my MSN and Adult Primary Care NP program in 2015, I was a RN for 9 years in the hospital setting.

I am dual-certified in primary care and psychiatry. I am licensed in PA. I offer virtual and in-person appointments. I am accepting new clients.
You should know that I truly see you — not just your symptoms or diagnosis. Many clients come to me feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, scattered, or stuck — often after feeling unheard or dismissed by other providers. My goal is to understand the full picture — your goals, challenges, and values — and create a space where you feel safe, supported, and empowered throughout your care. I work with children, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and other psychiatric concerns.
I combine evidence-based psychiatry with a holistic, personal touch. Care with me is collaborative, thoughtful, and never rushed. I don’t push medications or rely on quick fixes — I work with you to find clarity, balance, and lasting relief through treatment that fits your life.
Do you feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, extreme mood changes, or issues with focus? Are you plagued by addictions? Is this all affecting your work, physical health, and relationships?

We will work together to formulate a plan that will best meet your needs.
You deserve a safe place to be heard and to heal. Imagine feeling a sense of mental peace and balance. Imagine having freedom from addiction. Let's get you on the path to healing today!

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 Psychiatrist in Allentown, PA
Finding the right psychiatrist in Allentown starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through different therapeutic approaches. If you are looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or OCD, either type of specialist may be part of your care, depending on your needs and goals.
Allentown has a smaller local provider market than larger Pennsylvania cities, so virtual appointments can help expand your options across the Lehigh Valley. Medication management appointments are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, while some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. As you compare Allentown psychiatrists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer virtual or in-person visits, and whether their bio lists experience with your concerns.
Psychiatric care in Allentown 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 booking. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients with your plan, verify insurance, view estimated costs upfront, review bios, and book directly when you are 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.
