I am a Clinical Psychologist licensed in Delaware and Iowa. I earned my doctorate (Psy.D., Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology) from the Fuller School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.
I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with diverse populations in the East Coast, Midwest, and Los Angeles area in a variety of settings, such as outpatient behavioral agencies, a psychiatric hospital focusing on chemical dependency, a university counseling center, and a school district. I also received a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Hong Kong.
I provide psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with a wide variety of concerns. My clinical interests include anxiety and mood disorders, trauma recovery, grief and loss, family of origin issues, ADHD, relational distress, perfectionism, cross-cultural adjustments, and spirituality. I was trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in 2021 and my specialty area is to help individuals with complex childhood traumas and PTSD using attachment-informed EMDR interventions.

I am a board-certified, bilingual (English/Spanish) psychiatrist who is passionate about understanding my clients at a deeper level and helping them find the emotional wellbeing they seek. After finishing my residency at the University of Miami/Jackson Health System, where I served as a Chief Resident, I completed a two-year interpersonal psychoanalysis course at the William Alanson White Institute in New York City.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based, and stigma-free care to support healing and lasting growth. With a background in emergency and trauma care, I take a collaborative, holistic approach that considers the connection between mind and body. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, and mood disorders through a personalized combination of psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle support. My goal is to help you feel heard, empowered, and supported every step of the way, at a pace that feels right for you.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Human Services with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling from Springfield College, earned in 2014. This advanced training provides the foundation for my clinical expertise and commitment to ongoing professional development.
I believe in client-centered care and the power of therapeutic connection. My goal is to guide clients toward greater mental and emotional well-being, empowering them to overcome adversity and lead fulfilling lives. With compassion and expertise, I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Newark, DE
Searching for postpartum therapists in Newark starts with finding someone who has experience with the concerns that can come up during and after pregnancy. Postpartum care can support people with postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist with perinatal experience or a PMH-C credential may have specialized training in maternal mental health care.
In a smaller city like Newark, local in-person options may be more limited, so virtual therapy can help expand your search. This can be especially practical when your schedule changes often, you are coordinating infant care, or you are recovering physically. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum concerns.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who match your needs, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage and see an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
