PMHNP

Female

I am a double board-certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. I have been working in health care since 2005. I have worked as a family nurse practitioner caring for at-risk, underserved patient populations in Pennsylvania. I graduated from Wilmington University with honors with my Family Nurse Practitioner in 2010. While working as an FNP, I saw there was a great need for mental health providers and this need had exponentially increased by the pandemic; this motivated me to go back to school after 11 years of practicing as a Family Nurse Practitioner for my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner license. I enrolled at Wilkes University and graduated with honors in 2022.
My goal is to provide quality psychiatric care in the most timely and efficient way. I aim to improve the lives of clients by delivering exceptional mental health care and to bring about mental health awareness by empowering clients with the education and services they need. I believe we cannot have complete wellness without taking care of our mental health. I believe in partnering with clients to help them have optimal health, which can be achieved by caring for the individual, mind, body, and spirit.

How do we select providers listed on PsychHub.com?

The care options presented consist of treatment providers that we have assessed to be quality providers across a range of services for mental health, substance use, relationships, and other well-being needs. We aim to include only high quality providers and multiple viable options for those seeking care.

What is the relationship between Psych Hub and these providers?

The providers listed on our site are all independent entities from Psych Hub. We only list providers where we have a contractual relationship with a network, group, or practice that a provider is a part of, or where we have a direct contractual relationship with the provider. That contract governs the terms of participation on the Psych Hub site, and in some cases, as mentioned below, the provider’s, group’s, or network’s use of Psych Hub's educational content. There is no other affiliation between Psych Hub and the providers listed on our site.

Do participating providers pay us?

To make our site free for consumers, Psych Hub receives fees from provider groups, networks, or individual providers to connect with potential clients who are a fit for their services. Some also purchase Psych Hub's educational content for practitioner training and client support. These fees enable us to operate our service, including screening and updating information on each provider.

How do we determine which ones to display?

Rather than make specific provider recommendations, we present options and information so you can make an informed decision on what provider best fits your needs. Where we have multiple participating providers, we present multiple options (and where we don't, we prioritize adding more options to our site over time). We present providers whose capabilities, insurance coverage, availability and other attributes best match your stated needs. If many providers appear to equally meet your needs, we display a selection of them at random. Our decision on which participating providers to display is never impacted by the amount of fees we receive from them.

What causes us to remove providers from our site?

We require that providers meet all licensing requirements of states where they offer services. If a provider loses their license, they are removed from our site for that state or service. We also seek feedback from users on providers they find on our site. We investigate significant negative feedback and remove providers if we conclude that to be appropriate.
