Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Newark, DE covered by Cigna

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.

Where an atmosphere of non-judgement exists, lies comfort for one to explore themselves. Mindfulness-based, CBT best describes my style. I value open-mindedness and also feel it is important to address how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Training and education in Community Mental Health from Wilmington University launched a two decade long mission for me to explore the field of psychology and help others to optimize the quality of their life.

As a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I believe in seeing past the diagnosis of the client, treating each client with respect and kindness. I have over 17 years of experinece working in the medical field but the last 12 years have been in psychiatry. I am dedicated to my clients. I provide telehealth psychiatry and medication management sessions that fit the needs of my clients. My specialties include anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions, providing convenient online mental health care for individuals seeking support from the comfort of their home.

Hello and welcome! I specialize in serving individuals and couples over the age of 18 both working toward and living in recovery from a variety of life events, which may include addiction for the individual/partner/or client's child, socioemotional intelligence as an only child, grief/loss, justice-involved and/or incarceration, changes in confidence or creativity, Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), relationship phases and shifts, or workplace stressors.

If your child is dealing with big emotions, school stress, conflict at home, or the ups and downs that can come with ADHD, oppositional behaviors, anxiety, or depression, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
