Virtual • Rehoboth Beach, DE


You’re the one who usually has everything under control, but lately, the "strong" version of you feels like a mask that’s getting too heavy to wear. Whether you’re a mother wondering why you feel detached from the life you worked so hard to build, or a parent exhausted by the cycle of ADHD-related challenges—you don’t have to carry this alone.

I provide a warm, judgment-free space where you can stop surviving and start thriving. My approach is patient-centered, trauma-informed, and evidence-based, tailored to move you toward a life where you feel present, connected, and capable.

I specialize in:

  • Perinatal & Maternal Mental Health: Navigating the "new reality" of motherhood.
  • High-Achieving Professionals: Managing burnout, perfectionism, and "mental load."
  • Neurodiversity-Affirming Care: Supporting parents and children navigating ADHD and behavioral hurdles.

Why Work With Me?

I offer a "cozy" office experience in Houston, TX, and convenient virtual care across 7 states ( DE, FL, GA, IA, KS, MT, and TX). My goal is to make mental health easy, accessible and relatable.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Newark, DE

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.
