As a professional counselor with a specialty in play therapy, my therapeutic approach in working with children , teens, adults, and families includes a holistic and contextual family approach addressing family stressors, interpersonal conflicts, attachment issues, and parent/ child conflicts. I treat children from age 2 1/2+ utilizing play therapy techniques to explore personal and interpersonal stressors. Parents are included in treatment to support them in addressing family therapy issues, attachments issues, trauma (PTSD), and parenting skills. Adult therapy is available for any adult seeking personal growth.

I have worked with children and their families in the State of Delaware for over 15 years.
I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma. My goal is to help you better understand how the trauma that you have experienced has and is affecting your current life. I hope to teach you skills to address your symptoms, to help you think better about yourself, others and the world, to help you learn ways to cope if any symptoms arise again and to treat other problems often related to traumatic experiences such as depression, anxiety or misuse of alcohol or drugs.

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.

This rollercoaster of life can feel more scary than exciting. This can make life feel distressing and dizzying, instead of enjoyable or fun. Having someone to help during the downs, and cheering during the ups can make such a difference. Whether you're looking for yourself or your child , as a therapist, my role is to support during growth or setbacks, challenge an unhealthy mindset, and cheer on the progress. For families, I specifically look to enhance the attachment within the family and increase skills to reinforce healthy dynamics or develop new ones.

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.

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.

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.

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.
