I’m a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner and the founder of Mindful Balance & Wellness. I provide evidence-based psychiatric care while incorporating an integrative approach that considers the connection between mental health, lifestyle, and overall well-being.
I work with adults and adolescents experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related concerns. I’m particularly interested in how factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal changes can impact mental health, and I continue to expand my training in integrative and functional psychiatry to better support my patients.
I take time to listen and understand your full story, not just your symptoms. My goal is to create a personalized plan that helps you feel better, function better, and regain a sense of balance in your life.

Hi, I’m Joy! I’m a double board-certified nurse practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and a Thomas Jefferson University graduate. With five years of nurse practitioner experience, I provide compassionate, personalized psychiatric care to adults navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and other mental health concerns.
My approach begins with getting to know you as a person, not just your symptoms. I take the time to ask questions, listen to your experiences, and understand how your mental health affects your daily life. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that fits your individual needs, goals, and lifestyle. Whether that involves medication management, exploring new strategies, or adjusting your current treatment, my goal is to find practical solutions that work for you.
I believe mental health care should be collaborative, respectful, and judgment-free. I want you to feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself throughout your treatment journey. I remain flexible as we learn what works best for you, because your care should evolve with your needs.
Through my private practice, I provide in-person psychiatric care in the Jenkintown and Philadelphia area, with telehealth appointments available throughout Pennsylvania. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward better mental health. You do not have to navigate this journey alone, and I look forward to being part of your care.

I am a doctorally prepared psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with over 15 years of experience supporting individuals across all stages of life. My work is rooted in a genuine belief that mental health care should feel human, not clinical or distant. I care deeply about creating a space where you feel respected, understood, and never judged. I see myself not only as a provider, but as someone in your corner who is committed to helping you feel better, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.

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 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.
