Therapists in Hockessin, DE

Not Accepting New Clients at this time. I have always had a passion for helping people find their voice and their inner strengths. My approach to therapy looks at the whole person in regards to their physical, cognitive, emotional and spiritual selves. I practice a strengths- based and mindfulness approach with a focus on meeting the client where they are in the moment. I see a wide range of clients from all walks of life, experiences and age.

I work with women who are considering or approaching major life transitions or milestones. Those who are smart and ambitious and tend towards perfectionism which leaves them questioning themselves and experiencing stress and worry. Those who are entering a new decade, deciding to switch careers, contemplating marriage and/or parenthood, all the while navigating daily stressors and everyday lives. I work with individuals who are looking to be kinder to themselves and figure out what they really want.

I am the owner of a group practice; the Center for Grief and Trauma Therapy. We recognize that all of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed. Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. We hope you can find that person with us. We serve all ages, couples, families, and groups with a wide variety of emotional, interpersonal, and spiritual struggles.

I am in awe of how our nervous systems adapt to survive overwhelming situations. I love teaching my clients about their innate resilience & abilities to heal, and connect to self & others. I believe that understanding why we respond the way we do is paramount in building the self-compassion necessary to live in line with our values. I specialize in helping adults work through relational & sexual trauma, shame, high-functioning anxiety & people-pleasing, & parenting concerns. I collaborate with my clients to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, emotional intelligence, healthy sexual expression, and communication & intimacy skills.

“The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it.” I have worked as a clinical psychologist since 2011. Prior to this I received my master’s in clinical health psychology. I have had wonderful opportunities to work in numerous settings to help children and families. I have a vast amount of clinical experience with a range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges. In addition to my clinical work, I conduct clinical training for other child therapists as well as serving as a consultant to early childhood providers.

All of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed. Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can find that person in me.

Accepting new clients! You're here because you’ve exhausted yourself trying to ‘keep it together’. Whether you are stuck ruminating over the past, or you are anxiously worrying about what lies ahead, I use trauma-informed compassion to help disentangle the confusion. Together we will build a therapeutic alliance that supports you, empowers you, and helps you break free from past patterns; life doesn't have to be about pleasing everyone else and neglecting yourself.

I specialize in helping individuals navigate major life changes or transitions. This might include getting married or divorced, caring for a partner or relative, welcoming a new child, changing jobs or careers, getting older, mid-life uncertainty, losing a loved one. These types of changes can feel destabilizing and create anxiety or depression, even if the change is something you want. Many clients come in saying they feel stuck and don't know what to do anymore. Talking through these life events and understanding how they affect you can help reduce the worry and uncertainty, making it easier to think clearly and make decisions.

We are all trying our best, myself included. Somedays, we take small steps forward, and other days we move backward or stay still. I know it takes a lot of courage to decide to come to therapy, to take that step towards facing what gets in the way of living your best life. If you are like most of us, you have already been working hard to get there by reading, listening to podcasts, talking to friends, and searching yourself for the answers. I get it; change is hard and can feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes we need a safe space and a teammate to continue our growth. If you are looking for an ally on your journey, reach out.

In my practice, I look to build a strong and trusting rapport with clients. We are then able to work together on identifying potential sources of life stressors as well as strengths. In exploring these areas, clients are able to identify and modify previous patterns of behavior in order to achieve their full potential personally, academically, and/or vocationally.

I do my work with the knowledge that I have the honor to offer comfort to those who may have been greatly wounded. I approach my work with the awareness that everyone's story contains both beauty and pain. Just as the hurt occurs in the context of relationships, so does the healing.

By exploring your options for compassionate mental health care, you are one step closer on your path towards healing. That takes courage, and can help you on your journey! We specialize in working with those who are struggling with all kinds of losses, but ALSO those with other mental health and relationship difficulties. We experience a sense of loss when someone or something, very dear to us, has been taken from our lives. In spite of what you may have learned, there is no one right way to feel, or to grieve! We experience different types of losses throughout our lives - and we know that every person's grief is unique

Hello and thanks for viewing my profile. I am a clinician with 15 years experience working with children, families and adults in the community, school and home. My top priority is welcoming all people in an open minded environment. You deserve to be valued and listened to.

I offer traditional talk therapy as well as EMDR therapy, both virtually and in person. I enjoy working with people from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, and believe everyone is on an individual path. There is no one size fits all treatment or set of goals. Together, you and I will identify what you would like to see different in your life and how to help you feel better. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, and am psychodynamically oriented in my work.

At Peaceful Living we want to see people learn, heal, and grow. We work with you to help gain the awareness and support needed to fulfill your life goals and purpose. Our support through counseling, coaching, and anger management services is available to adults, adolescents, and couples, and groups online and in our office.

Looking for the "right" therapist can be a daunting task. It might be helpful to know, I felt it was necessary to first earn the right to accompany others on their personal psychological journeys by embarking on the same psychological journey, on which, I would be inviting and accompanying my clients. In addition to my formal education, it is by continuing on my own therapeutic journey, that has afforded me a deep comfort level, degree of understanding and respect of this process, regardless of what in particular finds you seeking support. Additionally, I am a holistic practitioner, using both eastern/western approaches.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.

I understand the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit for you and how challenging that search can feel. My primary focus as your therapist is that you feel understood and seen. I work to provide a safe space for you to feel heard, and a space where it is safe to challenge yourself. We will work within this safe space to make connections regarding how your past impacts your present life and with this awareness we will strive to find peace in the present.
