My clients include children, adolescents and adults.
With 25 years of experience as a psychologist, I have found that the majority of clients would like to resolve their distressing problems as quickly as they can. I utilize short-term treatment approaches, because they have generally been demonstrated to be as effective as long-term treatment. The approaches I use include cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and family systems treatments.

My specialty area is with children and families.
In practice in Delaware I am focused on offering services that fit for a small group of people who are looking for specific attention for their felt unique experiences. My belief is that every one has this valid experience of themselves and that some people find this occurs with greater ease than others. My niche seems to be connecting with people who feel out of a box, or caught between the cracks. At the same time everyone is unique including my clients who feel more “every day”. In PA I eased into practice and though I then went to open my office to continue a bit further south(Glen Mills) it allows me to seeing people in PA.

I specialize in helping individuals, children, & families w/ stress/anxiety, PTSD grief, trauma, anger management, abuse, eating disorders, behavioral problems (ADD/ADHD, ODD) etc.
Most of us face struggles at some point in our lives and these struggles may include stress at work, difficulty with a relationship, or family problems. Struggles may include emotional symptoms such as depression or anxiety, behavioral problems such as having difficulty throwing useless items away or even drinking alcohol too often, and/or cognitive symptoms such as repetitive upsetting thoughts or uncontrolled worry to name a few. Sometimes, life's struggles can be eased by talking with a supportive friend/family member, but when this doesn't resolve the issue, it makes sense to seek a qualified therapist like myself.

In my work with children, I focus on increasing coping skills so that they can learn how to respond more adaptively to situations.
I specialize in helping children + adults build ‘toolkits’ - a set of skills that can help clients better cope with current life difficulties and have success dealing with future challenges. I’m very interactive and teach a variety of coping skills that individuals can apply immediately to learn how to successfully manage daily as well as their extraordinary stressors. Clients gain skills that become a foundation of stability, meaning our work helps with current problems and also brings long-term solutions for sustainable health + resiliency.

A guiding principle for me is a quote from my Nana- “we are all here to help each other through.” For every one of us there is a time when extra support is beneficial. I bring over ten years of experience working with children, teenagers, and young adults. Working collaboratively with clients I use evidence-based practices including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and client-centered therapy.

Child Therapists
Child psychologists in Delaware provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.
Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.
The best child therapists in Delaware build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
