Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Newark, 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.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands OCD

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Newark

Finding OCD therapists in Newark starts with looking for training that matches obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, intrusive thoughts, anxiety, and related stress. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is a common therapy approach for OCD, and not all therapists have specific training in it. As you compare options, look for therapists who list OCD, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, or acceptance and commitment therapy in their profiles, and read how they describe their approach to care.

Newark is a smaller city, so the number of local OCD therapists may be more limited than in larger nearby markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options across Delaware while still letting you choose care that fits your schedule. Beyond location, compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Provider bios can help you see the difference between therapists who mention OCD as an area of familiarity and therapists who describe specific ERP training or OCD-focused experience.

Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, take your insurance, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse OCD therapists in Newark, review profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
