ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in York, PA

I have more than 15 years of experience providing mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults across a variety of clinical settings, including inpatient, outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs. Throughout my career, I have been committed to delivering compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care while fostering strong therapeutic relationships with my patients.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from York College of Pennsylvania in 2005, my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Drexel University in 2016, and my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Missouri State University in 2025.

In addition to my clinical practice, I currently serve as the Director of the Nurse Practitioner Program at York College of Pennsylvania. In this role, I am dedicated to preparing the next generation of advanced practice nurses while continuing to provide high-quality patient care.

I am passionate about empowering patients through education and shared decision-making. By building meaningful rapport and taking the time to understand each individual's unique needs, I help children, adolescents, and adults explore personalized treatment options and make informed decisions about their mental health care

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is queer and autistic/ADHD. I love the arts and spirituality, and enjoy working with kids and young adults the most. The populations I specialize working with include individuals identifying as non-manogomous, neurodivergent, trans/queer, and most other alt/weird/unique/geeky/nerdy folx. Mindfulness is an important aspect of therapy for my practice, as is creating a therapeutic environment that feels safe for marginalized groups.

Seeking deeper connection, balance, or clarity in your relationships or personal life? I’m here to help you move through anxiety, relational stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. I specialize in working with women and couples navigating communication challenges, boundary setting, and emotional overwhelm.

Whether you’re managing the stress of daily life, rebuilding after a breakup, or hoping to reconnect as a couple, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your story and find meaningful, lasting change. My approach blends CBT, Gestalt therapy, and mind-body techniques to help you feel more empowered and in tune with yourself and others.

I offer both individual and couples counseling, and I welcome all stages of partnership—from premarital and parenting to separation support. I also include partnered sessions for individuals when helpful, to practice communication skills and relational healing.

Sessions are available online or in person in either Gettysburg or at my serene Aspers farm office in Adams County, PA.

Being a teenager can be overwhelming. School pressure, friendships, family expectations, anxiety, ADHD, and figuring out who you are can all pile up quickly. With a background in school counseling, I understand how academic, social, and emotional challenges often overlap. I work with teens to create a space where they can feel heard without judgment, better understand what they’re experiencing, and build confidence and practical skills for navigating everyday life.

I bring 20+ years of experience and a genuine belief that every person has the capacity for change. I'm direct but compassionate — I'll be honest with you, and I'll always be in your corner. I don't believe in labeling people or fitting you into a box. You are a whole, complex human being, and that's how I'll treat you. I also have experience working with dually diagnosed individuals and those navigating substance use alongside other mental health challenges, so no matter what you're carrying, I've likely sat with someone in a similar place.
