Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Newark, DE

Después de más de una década de análisis sobre los procesos terapéuticos, creo fielmente en que cada ser humano tiene la capacidad y el potencial para hacerse cargo de cada asunto en su vida. Sin embargo, en ocasiones las personas necesitan apoyo cuando se encuentran en medio de una situación difícil. Me ofrezco como facilitador para ayudar a quienes lo necesiten a descubrir o desarrollar sus capacidades para entender el problema, encontrar maneras de solucionarlo y desarrollar las acciones necesarias para que la situación mejore y puedan continuar adelante. En especial, apoyo a personas que enfrentan ansiedad y/o estrés, transiciones de vida (separaciones, pérdidas, estudios universitarios, etc.) y/o traumas (EMDR). Apoyo especialmente a adultos(as) jóvenes (18 a 39 años) y adultos(as) de mediana edad (40 a 65 años); estudiantes universitarios(as), atletas, estudiantes-atletas, hispanohablantes, parejas y familias.

I bring a diverse clinical background that includes work in child welfare, family therapy, trauma-informed care, and supporting survivors of sexual and physical assault. I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Widener University and completed 3,200 hours of clinically supervised experience toward earning my LCSW license. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I regularly incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help clients build practical coping skills, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change.

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.

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.

I provide outpatient psychiatric and mental health services, including psychiatric evaluations, medication management, follow-up appointments, and ongoing mental health treatment. Services may be provided through telehealth or in person, as applicable. Patients are charged for services at the time of their appointment or according to their insurance benefits, including applicable copayments, coinsurance, or self-pay fees.

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. I enjoy working with tweens, teens, and young adults, and I help families better understand what’s going on so things can feel less overwhelming and more manageable. My goal is to help your child feel more grounded, understood, and hopeful.
