As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR Therapist, I have over 14 years of experience with the VA treating trauma, anxiety, phobias, attachment wounds, depression and navigating life and career changes.
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!
I am excited to help guide you along your journey. I enjoy observing the transformation that occurs in my clients lives over time. Perhaps your seeking a deeper understanding of your emotions or simply a feeling of peace and contentment. Changes can occur through therapy. Lets collaborate and discuss your goals that support the life your are seeking to change or improve.
Hi there! If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, discouraged by unmet goals, or simply ready to better understand yourself and move forward with greater clarity, therapy can be a space to reflect, reconnect, and grow.
I believe meaningful change often begins with feeling genuinely heard, supported, and understood. My approach is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and practical guidance, with the goal of helping you build insight, develop new perspectives, and strengthen the tools you already possess.
I bring nearly 10 years of experience in the mental health and personal development field, with experience across outpatient therapy, university counseling, community mental health, integrated care, and other supportive clinical settings. These experiences have shaped my ability to work with individuals from diverse backgrounds who are navigating life transitions, stress, personal growth, relationship concerns, and other emotional challenges.
My practice is best suited for adults seeking routine outpatient psychotherapy who are able to safely engage in telehealth care. If you are currently experiencing an acute mental health crisis or require a higher level of care, I may recommend more intensive or specialized services to ensure you receive the level of support you need.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Newark
Searching for therapists in Newark starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and work stress. As you compare therapists in Newark, DE, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Newark has a smaller local therapy market than larger metro areas, so virtual appointments can expand your options while still keeping care connected to Delaware. You may prefer an in-person office near areas like Chestnut Hill, Laird, or Elkton Pike, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and communication approach.
Therapy in Newark can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed Delaware therapists, verify your insurance, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly with therapists who are accepting new patients. You can browse therapists, compare profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
