I am a Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 16 years of experience in psychiatric nursing. I graduated cum laude from Walden University in 2022, where I completed advanced training in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental health conditions.

My clinical specialties include attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, mood disorders, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder. I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and patient-centered care while creating a supportive environment where individuals feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their treatment.

My goal is to collaborate with each patient to develop an individualized treatment plan that promotes emotional wellness, stability, recovery, and an improved quality of life.

Something brought you here. That instinct is worth listening to. I’m Jen, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping teens and adults through stress, anxiety, and those “where do I go from here?” moments. Basically, I help people with the sticky, messy parts of being human. (Spoiler: everyone has them.) I have a soft spot for young adults figuring out their next chapter, parents running on empty, and educators who hold space for others all day and have nothing left for themselves. I also work with job stress, burnout, identity questions, relationship changes, and that quiet feeling that something needs to shift. My style is warm, honest, and grounded. I’ll meet you with empathy, and I’ll also nudge you a bit. Feeling understood is great. Feeling understood and moving forward is better. We’ll talk openly, laugh or cry as needed (sometimes both in the same session), and find practical ways to untangle old patterns. I earned my master’s in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, and I’m a certified K-12 school counselor. All sessions are online for folks in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia, so you can come as you are. Sweatpants welcome. If you’re ready to talk, reach out. I’d love to hear what brought you here.

Whether you're managing the weight of anxiety and depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to the unique challenges. I’m here to support you.

I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.
