My website
I'm passionate about working with teenagers, adults, and couples experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and life changes. I am an openly queer therapist & often work with queer and transgender people. I completed degrees in Social Work and Religion, which allows me to explore spirituality & deconstruction with people who find that exploration helpful, including atheists. I don't assume I know the "right" answer for all people, and I'm grateful to accompany the exploration. I've studied Internal Family System, DBT, & chaplaincy. I offer premarital, individual, & couples sessions.
My goal is to build compassionate, empathetic relationships with clients so that together we can work towards healthier insight, coping strategies, and relationship patterns. I have worked in schools, psychiatric & medical hospitals, and progressive faith communities, with people experiencing adjustment challenges, suicidal thoughts, and chronic illnesses.
I co-lead The Emerald Lighthouse, a free group for LGBTQ+ teenagers in northern Delaware. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy hiking with my huskies, collecting postcards, and reading about the Enneagram. Online booking is available on our website; more apts may be available over the phone. I'd be honored to be part of the healing journey with you.
