Where an atmosphere of non-judgement exists, lies comfort for one to explore themselves. Mindfulness-based, CBT best describes my style. I value open-mindedness and also feel it is important to address how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence one another. Training and education in Community Mental Health from Wilmington University launched a two decade long mission for me to explore the field of psychology and help others to optimize the quality of their life.
I am passionate about helping people heal, grow, and feel more at home in their own lives. My style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative.
I have a Master’s in Criminal Justice and a Master’s in Clinical Counseling Psychology, and have spent over 20 years supporting individuals through mental health crises, trauma, and life transitions. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) and I genuinely love what I do.
My career has been dedicated to working with some of the most overlooked populations including justice-involved individuals, those navigating reentry, and people in the midst of life’s most difficult moments. My background spans clinical counseling, crisis intervention, and correctional settings, giving me a uniquely grounded perspective on what healing actually requires.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Newark, DE
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.
