PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING, thank you.
I am a board-certified Psychiatrist (medical doctor) providing virtual care throughout NY and PA. I taper medications. This means most of my patients want to safely reduce or ultimately stop taking psychiatric medications, and I guide them through that process safely and at their own pace. I include therapy in my 30-min follow up sessions, though do not offer weekly 1-hour therapy sessions. Many of my patients also work with a therapist.
I am a CRNP, fully trained to care for your Mental Health needs. I worked as a Psych Nurse for Nine years. I am a Wilkes University Alumni.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Psychiatrist in Erie, PA
Finding psychiatrists in Erie starts with knowing whether you’re looking for medication support, talk therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support through skills-based or insight-based approaches. If you’re looking for care for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and care style to see whether their background matches your needs.
Erie is a smaller market, so nearby in-person psychiatry options may be limited by location, schedule, or availability. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Pennsylvania while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists who can support medication management. These appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also provide therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, read psychiatrist bios to understand appointment structure, areas of focus, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Psychiatric care in Erie can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who are accepting new patients and match your plan, preferences, and schedule. You can enter your insurance details, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review bios, 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.
