I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). My passion lies in helping individuals of all ages—from children and adolescents to adults and older adults—navigate their mental health journey. I specialize in the treatment of Mood, Anxiety, Substance use , Traumatic and Psychotic disorders.
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 Wilmington
Searching for therapists in Wilmington starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
In a smaller city like Wilmington, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and therapist specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Delaware while still letting you work with a licensed therapist who fits your needs. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has availability that works with your calendar, offers in-person or virtual sessions, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Wilmington can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your specific plan and provider. You can browse therapists in Wilmington, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
