Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Wilmington, DE covered by Aetna

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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of clinical experience and have been working in the behavioral health field since 2005. I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through a wide range of emotional and life challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and major life transitions. My work is grounded in creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly heard and understood. I believe healing begins when you feel safe enough to be honest about where you are. I also believe there is no victory too small, and I’m here to recognize and celebrate each step forward with you.

Therapy is a second career for me. I worked 25 years in journalism listening to stories as a reporter; often traumatic stories. When I learned that it is possible to find growth and healing after traumatic events, I chose to become a therapist to walk with individuals on their journey to finding peace and understanding.

I've worked with several victims of domestic violence, sexual violence and child abuse; and first responders, such as law enforcement, emergency medical personnel and search and rescue. I am unafraid of the hard stories; and can respect and find solutions for clients who cannot speak aloud the horrors they've experienced or seen.

I also love working with people who are ready to find their path to authenticity, joy and fulfilment.

I have over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy across a wide range of settings, including acute and non-acute mental health, residential treatment, and outpatient care. Throughout my career, I've worked with adults, adolescents, individuals, and couples facing everything from everyday life stressors to more complex emotional and psychological challenges.

While I work with a broad range of concerns, I have particular interests in relationship counseling using the Gottman Method, chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), addiction, borderline personality disorder using DBT, and anxiety-related disorders. I also frequently help clients navigate life transitions, relationship difficulties, parenting, work stress, panic, and general emotional well-being.

One thing that deeply shapes my work is a genuine curiosity about the human condition. I believe every person's story makes sense when we take the time to understand it. Rather than viewing people through the lens of a diagnosis alone, I strive to understand the experiences, relationships, beliefs, and circumstances that have shaped who they are. I see therapy as a collaborative process of exploration, insight, and meaningful change.

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.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, and life’s harder moments with over a decade of experience.
