Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often the hardest step. I'm Jackie, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 40 years of nursing experience. Throughout my career, I've cared for individuals and families in a variety of healthcare settings, gaining a deep appreciation for the connection between physical and emotional health. That experience shaped my approach to psychiatric care and continues to guide the way I support each person. You'll find a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, understood, and respected. Virtual appointments are available for individuals throughout Pennsylvania.
I bring both professional expertise and genuine empathy to my work. Having navigated my own experiences with immigration, career changes and motherhood, I understand how destabilizing major life transitions can be. Those experiences shape how I show up for patients. I believe people do best when they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My approach is integrative and individualized, grounded in evidence based care while also guided by curiosity, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
My focus is on psychiatric medication management, including diagnosis and ongoing care for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and related concerns. I do not provide weekly or primary psychotherapy, and may not be the best fit if you are seeking therapy-only services. If you are looking for ongoing talk therapy, I encourage you to select a licensed therapist (LCSW, LPC, LMFT, PsyD, or PhD) whose profile and approach best meet your needs.
Notice for New Jersey Clients: Due to current New Jersey law, stimulant medications cannot be prescribed without an in-person assessment. Because my practice is exclusively online, I am unable to prescribe these medications. I am, however, happy to help you explore non-controlled medication options for ADHD and other supportive strategies.
Please also note: I do not offer medical marijuana evaluations or cards.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Psychiatrist in Harrisburg, PA
Searching for psychiatrists in Harrisburg starts with understanding the type of care you need. Psychiatrists and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions, prescribe medication, and manage medication over time. Therapists focus on talk therapy and support through approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or other care methods. If you are looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, or medication management, review each psychiatrist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see who matches your needs.
In a smaller city like Harrisburg, local psychiatry options may be more limited than in larger Pennsylvania markets. Virtual appointments can expand your choices while still giving you access to a licensed psychiatrist who fits your schedule and care needs. Medication management appointments are often 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, read each psychiatrist’s bio to compare appointment availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Harrisburg can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before your first appointment. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, with many accepting new patients and matching your preferences for virtual or in-person care. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, browse bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
