Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Delaware

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania, and I work with children, teens, and adults who are dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, and family struggles. Over the years, I’ve supported families facing tough transitions, kids on the autism spectrum, and people who are trying to rebuild after life has knocked them down.

My style is down-to-earth, supportive, and focused on helping you feel stronger and more hopeful. In our sessions, you’ll have space to be heard without judgment while we work together to move toward the goals that matter most to you.

Después de más de una década de análisis sobre los procesos terapéuticos, creo fielmente en que cada ser humano tiene la capacidad y el potencial para hacerse cargo de cada asunto en su vida. Sin embargo, en ocasiones las personas necesitan apoyo cuando se encuentran en medio de una situación difícil. Me ofrezco como facilitador para ayudar a quienes lo necesiten a descubrir o desarrollar sus capacidades para entender el problema, encontrar maneras de solucionarlo y desarrollar las acciones necesarias para que la situación mejore y puedan continuar adelante. En especial, apoyo a personas que enfrentan ansiedad y/o estrés, transiciones de vida (separaciones, pérdidas, estudios universitarios, etc.) y/o traumas (EMDR). Apoyo especialmente a adultos(as) jóvenes (18 a 39 años) y adultos(as) de mediana edad (40 a 65 años); estudiantes universitarios(as), atletas, estudiantes-atletas, hispanohablantes, parejas y familias.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker that specializes in providing compassionate support to individuals navigating trauma, PTSD, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, and military/veteran support. My practice focuses on empowering clients aged 18 and above to heal and grow in a safe and supportive environment.

I received my Masters of Social Work with a specialization in Trauma and Interpersonal Violence from Simmons University in 2016 and achieved full clinical licensure in 2020. Through my experiences working with military members and their families, I have learned the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, focusing not just on symptom management, but also on addressing the root cause, and helping clients build skills that can be used outside of the session. After all, in any given week, there are 167 hours’ worth of living done outside of therapy.

Over twenty years of experience providing mental health services to a wide range of clients - finding the unique nature of each individual.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of nursing experience, with the majority of my career spent in the emergency department. That experience has shaped me into a warm, direct, and nonjudgmental provider who understands that people often seek help during some of the most overwhelming moments of their lives.

I work with adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, mood instability, overwhelming stress, and substance use. I believe mental health care should help you make sense of what you’re experiencing without leaving you feeling more overwhelmed.

I became a psychiatric provider because I wanted to help people quiet the crowded mind. Mental health challenges can make everything feel louder and harder to manage. My goal is to help you understand what may be contributing to how you feel, explore your treatment options, and develop a plan that feels manageable and individualized to you. I want treatment to create more clarity and more room for you to live your life.

Welcome. Taking the first step toward support is not always easy, and I’m glad you’re here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Delaware and Pennsylvania, and I’ve been working in mental health since 2007. My background includes inpatient and outpatient therapy, drug and alcohol treatment, correctional settings, foster care, and work with children and families. This diverse experience allows me to approach each person with understanding, flexibility, and care.
