Life presents many challenges for children and adults alike. While everyone's experience is different, I believe there is always a path of healing to be found. I use specialized assessment tools to help individuals understand their cognitive, behavioral, and mental health, identify accurate diagnosis, and discover individualized treatment options and interventions. My approach is always research supported and tailored to your specific needs. I account for each person's unique experience when designing an assessment that answers your questions and provides guidance for improving life satisfaction.

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 believe that every individual has the right to live a full and satisfying life. Sometimes things get in the way, such as a history of trauma, unresolved grief, family difficulties, or just "everyday" stressors which feel overwhelming. You may be searching for a therapist because you do not feel as fulfilled or content with life as you could. You may be looking for help for a loved one, such as a child or a spouse. Contacting a therapist is the first step toward a journey of healing. I encourage you to take that step today.
