Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Pennsylvania


I’m Britney, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Sanctum & Soul. I believe healing happens when the whole person is seen: body, mind, and spirit. My care is trauma-informed, culturally humble, and built for people who have too often felt unseen or misunderstood in traditional mental health settings.

Years of nursing taught me how much people carry beyond a diagnosis, and how much safety, dignity, and being listened to matter for healing. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing at Jefferson University and am completing a fellowship at the Integrative Psychiatry Institute, which deepens my training in whole-person approaches to mental health.
