I am a licensed psychologist in Delaware and Pennsylvania and a graduate of Institute of Graduate Clinical Psychology at Widener University. I approach psychotherapy as a collaborative effort to help foster insight, build skills, and promote growth. Therapeutic work begins with the relationship and I strive to create a safe, therapeutic environment where we can begin to identify problematic patterns in your life and work towards change.

Therapy is not about fixing someone who is "broken." You are not broken. Therapy is an opportunity to learn new ways to approach recovery and challenges (no matter how hard) with effective, realistic, and doable actions. Therapy will require commitment and effort, but the work will be a process of collaboration.

It is a difficult decision to begin therapy especially for adolescents and young adults. I feel that developing a relationship is essential because no one shares their personal thoughts with someone they don’t trust. I believe in short term, solution based therapy with specific goals and direction. Therapy is not magic and succeeds when the therapist and client are working for the same goal. I am a social worker who has worked with adolescents and their families for many years, primarily in the high school setting. I also enjoy working with adults who are motivated to make changes in their lives.

There are seasons of life that may disrupt our ability to flow. Events that can make the art of living more difficult. Sometimes we may notice patterns, but find it difficult to fully recognize or address them from within. There are advantages to connecting and reflecting with a nonjudgmental, outside perspective. Therapy can feel like an exploration -of story, relationships, narrative- a process of transformation. I enjoy serving as a co-pilot, to navigate alongside a client through their journey in a collaborative effort. Where do you want to be growing?

I am a Licensed professional counselor who has been practicing in the field for over 15yrs.

I also provide clinical supervision as the board certifies for provisionally licensed counselors seeking supervision. My approach lays emphasizes on the client's resources of becoming self-aware; to resolve blocks to personal growth; allows for the client to determine the direction of therapy and puts the client (not the therapist) at the center of therapy.

Both personally and professionally, I am a strong believer in the healing power of relationships. However, sometimes even our most important relationships falter, causing pain, confusion and turmoil. If you currently find yourself struggling with a relationship-related issue (spouse, romantic partner, parent/sibling, friend, boss/co-worker) I am here to listen and to help you achieve greater clarity and confidence moving forward. At the individual level, I also offer support for more personal concerns, including anxiety and depression, as well as difficult life circumstances such as processing a recent loss, divorce or past trauma.

I specialize in empowering people who are wanting to be free of painful emotional and cognitive disruptions so they may uncover, discover and practice being the amazing person they came to this life to be. With over 28 years of experience; including on-going training in well-established evidence-based practices; combined with my genuinely compassionate, curious and deeply respectful approach; I emphasize the uniqueness of every person, focus on their inherent strengths and assist them in creating greater satisfaction in their lives by tapping into their own innate inner wisdom, that's often blocked by past pain & trauma.

I consider myself an agent of change and healing. I help clients process negative events and feelings, past and present, towards a more positive outcome. When successful re-processing takes place, people's lives and relationships improve significantly. I use the word agent because I facilitate my clients' natural ability to deal with these incidents. Sometimes we just get stuck. Stuck with traumas, patterns, habits and defenses. I know that empathic understanding, bi-lateral stimulation (EMDR) and mindfulness practice can move people through the most difficult situations, bring focus and clarity to the present moment, and dissipate unwanted symptoms.

I believe psychotherapy is best viewed a process of forming a safe and trusting relationship in order to identify and change self-defeating patterns of behavior. My goal is to help my clients feel safe enough to explore these patterns and ultimately choose solutions that are adaptive and based on their personal values. While I feel that techniques are often helpful to the process of change, the relationship between psychotherapist and client takes ultimate priority and allows a person's full potential to be realized.
