I enjoy working with adults and older adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, acute and chronic trauma, grief and loss, life-role changes, and struggles involved in being a caregiver for a spouse or family member.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious or stressed out all the time? Maybe you had an expectation about what life might be like but the reality is so much harder. You just want to feel better, to be happy and connected. Instead of enjoying your time with your family, you just feel angry or anxious all the time.

We sometimes experience life challenges and our usual ways of coping just aren’t enough. Are you having a difficult time with stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, alcohol use, career decisions or other areas of concern? I’m here to help. In-person therapy sessions in Wilmington, Delaware and video and phone therapy sessions available.

PROVIDING TELETHERAPY. Life sometimes presents us with difficult challenges. As a psychologist with 30 years experience, in therapy with me you will learn about yourself and develop skills to manage difficult feelings, life transitions, and challenges in relationships. I provide individual and couple's therapy and am passionate about my work with couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy. As the only Certified EFT therapist in Delaware I bring unique experience and expertise in this highly successful model of treatment, helping couples develop stronger, more loving bonds even after serious betrayals and years of disengagement.

I am a LPCMH dedicated to helping people become empowered to make positive change in their lives. Though life can be challenging and overwhelming at times, I believe that change, healing and growth is possible for anyone who is open to exploring their capacity to change from within. As a Licensed counselor, I believe my part is to be present , empathetic , authentic and supportive as you break through the barriers to success and healing. As a potential client, I believe your part is to be willing to put in the work that is necessary to re-write the story of your life and experience the healing and wellness you are seeking.

My goal is to help people feel better and function better. Most people come for help because they don't feel well emotionally or they have problems in dealing with others. Work stress, family dynamics or even the inability to find a meaningful relationship are common in today's world. Together we explore new options. I belief that individuals go through life making the best decisions they can given the information they have. No one gets up in the morning and thinks, "today I will shoot myself in the foot," yet in hindsight some decisions could have been better.

Guiding my work is the belief that life is precious, and that learning to live more fully in the present relieves suffering. During the COVID-19 crisis, these skills are more important than ever! I will work with you confidentially, using an online format. I can expertly help you manage extreme stress, discover strengths, and change patterns getting in the way of health and happiness. I am eager and equipped to work with front line workers, health care providers, and anyone struggling at home with such issues as illness, anxiety, depression, employment concerns, low self-esteem, relationships, separation/divorce or substance abuse,

I deeply value my relationships with clients and believe that significant healing occurs in the context of a safe, supportive environment. I empower clients to look honestly at difficult issues and make the changes necessary to enhance their lives. I believe therapy is a collaborative effort where I help client's access inner strengths and resources. We work together to get past barriers that are keeping you stuck in unproductive behavior patterns and unsatisfying relationships. The process of therapy often leads to greater self-awareness and self-acceptance, new ways of coping with life's challenges, and more fulfilling relationships.

It is a gift to have someone share their emotional self, and an honor to accompany them on their journey of growth. This statement summarizes my approach to practicing mental health counseling for the last 30 years. Entering counseling takes courage and the strength to be vulnerable; my goal is to help harness this courage to facilitate growth and encourage healthy change. Change is often scary and is greeted by resistance, so an environment must be provided which will enhance therapeutic success. I believe that prescribing to one therapeutic approach limits the client's progress, remembering their unique life experiences.

Working with individuals who are aware that they need healing or to reconcile their many pieces is a passion of mine. Adjusting to parenthood, exploring race, class, spirituality or issues of sexuality, or struggling to balance work with all of the other stressors of life -- including unresolved traumas that you were forced to ignore in order to function -- deserves attention. Clients do not need to understand all the feelings they have or why they have them when they walk into the office. They just have to want the better life they have always deserved. Third Culture Kids and micro-minorities welcome. We will create context.

Someone once said "this is not the dress rehearsal for the next life". This statement describes the philosophy of my practice. Using therapeutic techniques tailored to your personality and goals in counseling, my role is to help you make the most of your strengths and abilities so that you live life to it's fullest. This is a collaborative relationship in which we work together to eliminate those obstacles that cause you depression, anxiety and other symptoms that make life more of a struggle than a joy. I am an engaged therapist who does more than sit and nod my head in sessions. During this pandemic I am seeing clients .

As we move through life, obstacles, challenges, disappointments and past pain can become road blocks to living the life we truly want. In therapy we can create a supportive, safe and accepting place for you to explore and dismantle the elements that have kept you stuck, and uncover your true potential to lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful. If you are ready for this journey of self-discovery and change, I would be honored to work with you.
