Currently Accepting NEW Clients: Looking for tweens, teens, and young adults that feel they need a sounding board for life experiences or the parent that feels their child would benefit from having a trusted, compassionate, and realistic influence in their life. A mother of a child on the spectrum, we faced challenges in relationship engagement/ building, social skills and cues, and simply having an opportunity for experiences that would enhance my child’s life. I educated myself to better support my family, and I know I have the skills and personality to support you as well

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative and compassionate. I work with my clients to help them address the inevitable challenges life brings our way and to help them find the path to recovery, renewal and resilience to empower them to meet the next challenge that they meet on the road of life. I strive to understand each client's very personal story and to support them on their unique journey. I have worked extensively with older adults and adult children who are coping with aging issues in the family.

I believe that the therapeutic process involves a collaborative effort between therapist and client to recognize and understand problems and conflicts, identify realistic goals, and take full advantage of the strengths and strategies available to promote meaningful and positive change. As a psychotherapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Delaware for over 20 years, I actively work with clients to process difficulties, cultivate new understanding, and strengthen the skills needed to promote healing, personal growth, emotional wellness, improved self-esteem and healthy boundaries.

Change can be difficult. Especially when you have experienced mental or emotional suffering for months or years. Believing that things can change can be even more difficult, however, change is possible. With counseling, faith, and using your own personal strengths, all things are possible, even experiencing peace. Sometimes experiencing peace may mean that the situation has not gone away or even changed much but the way you think, react, cope, or respond to the situation no longer brings you turmoil. Change can begin in you and with you when you allow us to work together to bring a healing process to your life right now.

Life can be challenging and overwhelming, however, we are all capable of growth, change, and learning from our experiences. I am a Licensed Therapist in Delaware and Maryland with over 25 years of experience. Providing counseling for children, teens, adults, and families dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, ADHD, and other life issues. I also have many years of experience helping individual and families who are dealing with terminal illness and end of life transitions.

Therapy can be an excellent tool to help calm the chaos, and take stock of what is truly important in our lives, and allow ourselves the time to focus on changing our mindset, relational patterns, or life trajectory. It is my desire to help those who are hurting to make significant changes for themselves to better their mood, self-esteem and their relationships with others, both adults and children. Oftentimes life can become too overwhelming and stressful, and we may need some time and assistance to assess our situation, and find new ways to calm and cope.
