With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I've had the privilege of working across a wide range of treatment settings, including acute care, non-acute care, residential treatment, and outpatient therapy. I work with adolescents and adults and have experience providing individual and couples therapy.
My primary areas of focus include relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain and chronic illness through Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction treatment informed by the work of Dr. Carl Hart, and Borderline Personality Disorder using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
In addition to these specialty areas, I frequently help clients navigate anxiety, panic attacks, depression, life transitions, adjustment disorders, parenting challenges, workplace stress, and the everyday demands that can leave us all feeling overwhelmed!
My professional background includes working in Rikers Island as a therapist, working as a virtual EAP provider as well as private practice. My specific areas are individual therapy of those 13 years and older, with a heavy focus on trauma therapy and gender affirming care. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space while also challenging you when necessary. I tend to be more direct and value building a strong therapeutic relationship above all.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Newark
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Newark starts with looking for identity-affirming care that fits your needs. A therapist may support concerns related to sexuality, gender identity, family dynamics, relationship stress, anxiety, or depression. As you compare options, look for someone who lists experience with affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse clients, or LGBTQIA+ populations in their bio. Finding a therapist who understands your identity and goals can matter beyond credentials alone.
In a smaller city like Newark, the number of local therapists specializing in gender identity, sexuality, or counseling for LGBTQIA+ concerns may be more limited than in a large metro area. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find a therapist licensed in Delaware. Before booking, compare appointment availability, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist profiles can help you understand how they describe their experience, communication style, and work with LGBTQIA+ clients.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your coverage, and show estimated session costs before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
