Hello, my name is Katie, and I’m a licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion and evidence-based care. I hold a Master in Nursing degree from York College of Pennsylvania and have 6 years of nursing experience working in mental health. My areas of specialization include child and adolescent psychiatry, anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment and relationship issues. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel heard, empowered, and equipped to create meaningful change in their lives.
A peaceful place to be heard, understood, and restored. Rooted in wisdom. Guided by compassion.
I’m a double board-certified Nurse Practitioner providing thoughtful, evidence-based mental health care that integrates both medical and therapeutic approaches. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from Temple University in 2019, with a focus in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and later completed a post-master’s certification in Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2024.
My clinical background spans the full continuum of care across the lifespan. I have worked extensively with military service members and veterans, gaining a deep understanding of trauma, resilience, and the complexities of balancing mental health with identity, work, and relationships. I also have experience in inpatient child and adolescent psychiatry, where I supported youth and families through acute mental health needs. In addition, I serve as the primary psychiatric provider for a large assisted living community, caring for nearly 450 geriatric residents across multiple levels of support. These experiences allow me to approach care with a broad, nuanced perspective across all stages of life.
Welcome. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience providing high-quality, evidence-based care in outpatient settings. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, mood disorders, and complex life transitions.
I believe that mental health care should begin with feeling heard, understood, and accepted. I strive to create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where you can be open and honest about what you are experiencing.

Frequently asked questions
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 Media
Finding psychiatrists in Media starts with knowing which type of mental health care fits your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage psychiatric care. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and they do not prescribe medication. If you are looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach before booking.
In a smaller city like Media, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited, so virtual care can expand your options while still keeping your search focused on Pennsylvania-licensed psychiatrists. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, though some psychiatrists also offer therapy. 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, care structure, and areas of focus.
Psychiatric care and therapy in Media, PA 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, may accept your plan, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, 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.
