I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner specializing in ADHD, mood disorders, and complex or unclear diagnoses. My approach is collaborative but direct - I focus on getting the diagnosis right and creating a treatment plan that truly fits your life.

I have experience across outpatient and residential settings, and I often work with patients who are looking for more clarity or haven’t found answers elsewhere.

My goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, feel more in control, and move forward with confidence.

I’m deeply committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed care. I understand that mental health isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I take the time to listen, learn, and adapt to what works best for you.

I don’t expect perfection — I expect real people, with real experiences, showing up as they are. I bring not only clinical expertise but also lived understanding of how layered and complex healing can be. You’ll never have to shrink or code-switch in my care — your story, identity, and truth are all welcome here.

I believe that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. My goal is to create a warm, compassionate, and judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to work toward meaningful change.

I am a PMHNP with 4 years of experience providing mental health care to individuals [and/or families/couples]. Through my practice, EP Serenity, I work with clients experiencing [anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, mood disorders, grief, relationship concerns, stress, life transitions, maternal mental health, etc.]. I provide assessment, diagnosis, and treatment for anxiety depression , ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorders, insomnia, OCD, women's issues and domestic abuse survivors.

My approach is individualized because I recognize that no two people—or two life experiences—are exactly alike. I draw from , person-centered therapy, to help clients better understand themselves, develop healthy coping skills, navigate difficult emotions, strengthen relationships, and move toward greater balance and fulfillment.

As a mother of four beautiful children, I also understand the many roles, responsibilities, joys, and challenges that can come with caring for yourself while caring for others. I bring compassion, authenticity, and a real-world perspective into my work while maintaining a professional and supportive therapeutic environment.

Outside of my professional life, I love spending time with my family, traveling, reading, and anything that allows me to connect with nature. I believe that life is about more than simply getting through the difficult moments—it is also about discovering what brings you joy, purpose, peace, and connection.

My hope is that our work together will help you feel more confident, supported, and equipped to create the life you want.

I would be honored to walk alongside you in that journey. Welcome to EP Serenity.

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 Pennsylvania

Finding psychiatrists in Pennsylvania starts with understanding the type of mental health care you want to access. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication plans. Therapists provide talk therapy and may work alongside a prescriber. Across urban and rural parts of Pennsylvania, available specialists and appointment formats can vary. If you’re looking for support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties and bio to see whether their training matches your needs.

Your search may look different in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, or a smaller Pennsylvania community. In-person appointments may work best if you prefer an office setting, while virtual appointments can make care easier to fit around work, school, caregiving, or travel time. Psychiatric medication management appointments are usually shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, and some psychiatrists also offer therapy. Some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. Before booking, compare appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Bios can also show communication style, care approach, and what to expect in a first visit.

Psychiatric care in Pennsylvania 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 care begins. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your preferences, verifies that listed psychiatrists are accepting new patients with your plan, and shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 100+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific area and plan before booking.

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.
