I earned my BSN from Gwynedd Mercy University in 2019 and my MSN in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing in 2025 from La Salle University. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent seven years working as an Emergency Department RN, including at a Level I Trauma Center, where I developed a strong foundation in trauma-informed care. I’ve always been drawn to psychology and the ways our mental and physical health are deeply connected. As a PMHNP at Headway, I’m excited to bring together my emergency and psychiatric experience to provide compassionate, personalized care in a supportive and nonjudgmental environment.

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 Philadelphia

Finding psychiatrists in Philadelphia starts with knowing whether you want medication-focused care, therapy, or both. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. If you’re looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or med management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, credentials, and care approach before choosing who to book.

Philadelphia has many psychiatry options across neighborhoods like Center City, South Philly, University City, and Northeast Philadelphia, which can make it harder to narrow the search. Consider whether an office near transit or your routine matters, or whether virtual appointments fit your schedule better. Psychiatric appointments for medication management are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Reading bios can help you understand session structure, communication style, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Psychiatric care in Philadelphia can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, many of whom take your insurance and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare options, 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.
