Eclectic Therapists in Delaware

Greetings! Thank you for your consideration to enter into a therapeutic relationship with myself, and/or one of the providers with our practice (sussexfamilycounseling.com). I would like to share a little background information to help you make an informed decision, prior to moving forward. I completed all of my formal education from The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), included a bachelors degree in Bio-Behavioral Health, a masters degree in Counselor Education/Psychiatric Rehabilitation, and a doctoral degree in Adult Education.

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.

By exploring your options for compassionate mental health care, you are one step closer on your path towards healing. That takes courage, and can help you on your journey! We specialize in working with those who are struggling with all kinds of losses, but ALSO those with other mental health and relationship difficulties. We experience a sense of loss when someone or something, very dear to us, has been taken from our lives. In spite of what you may have learned, there is no one right way to feel, or to grieve! We experience different types of losses throughout our lives - and we know that every person's grief is unique

Every human has a story to tell. Every story, if we take the time to listen, can be an informative tool that helps us understand why humans smile and cry for the reasons they do. Why they lash out in anger or disappear from the world. Understanding our own stories, chapter to chapter, can also allow us to build empathy and confidence in knowing we are stronger than we often give ourselves credit for.

I work with women who are considering or approaching major life transitions or milestones. Those who are smart and ambitious and tend towards perfectionism which leaves them questioning themselves and experiencing stress and worry. Those who are entering a new decade, deciding to switch careers, contemplating marriage and/or parenthood, all the while navigating daily stressors and everyday lives. I work with individuals who are looking to be kinder to themselves and figure out what they really want.

Coming out as transgender and moving out into the world as a transgender person can be both frightening and overwhelming. Having a safe place to express who you are and not feeling rejected but affirmed and validated, may be the first step in your journey to embrace yourself identifying as transgender or questioning. Whether questioning or uncertain, transitioning or have transitioned, having a safe place, and a warm and compassionate person who understands your journey of expression is the beginning of living and expressing yourself to your very fullest potential as a transgender person while moving within the greater communities.

Therapy is a space to talk about your deepest hurts and fears. To do that, you need to feel like you can trust the person you’re talking to. I have years of experience sitting with people grieving losses and going through big transitions. I am not afraid of grief, or anger. I also work with people who struggle with intimacy and vulnerability. Sometimes our troubles come from inside and sometimes they are a result of the things that happen to us. Together, we will spend time with both, giving voice and care to parts of the self that have been overlooked or overwhelmed.

Are you wanting to make some changes but struggling to release old behavior patterns or relationships? Do you find yourself returning to familiar but detrimental ways of dealing with love, sex, or friendship? Do you struggle with self-doubt, comparing yourself to others and yearning for more meaning in life? Through thoughtful exploration and awareness building, we will help you to explore new ways of understanding your beliefs, fears, and relational patterns. My clients find that through therapy they are able to better understand themselves and also better able to be understood by others. www.humanconditionconsulting.com

I work to help people and partners who have traumatic histories increase self awareness, adjust relational patterns, and reimagine their life and goals. We accomplish this together best through paced relational work. I approach our conversations with both curiosity and intuition. I ask questions to really understand you and the context you are in as well as using my own intuition and experience to inform our work together. I believe that the relationship that we build and the safety we feel create a space with a potential for awareness, healing, and growth.

Life can often present us with obstacles and challenges resulting in stress .Have you been feeling anxious? Not sleeping enough? Are you worried about your job? Have you been concerned about your youngest child starting college? Do you struggle with issues of addiction or trauma, other life transitions weighing you down? Do you have worries about your relationships? All of these stressors can bring you to a place where support, safety and compassion are needed in order to continue on your journey of change. That is where therapy and our work together can help build a foundation for change.

I am passionate about creating an open environment for people to explore, understand, and communicate about their thoughts, feelings, wants and needs. I believe that as one is able to learn their authentic self, they become able to embrace true identity, transform boundaries, and connect to themselves and others more fully. I enjoy helping others explore how thought, lived experiences (familial, cultural, societal influences), and behavior patterns impact daily life, self concept, connection, and achievement.

Do you continue to struggle with anxiety, mood, or self-defeating behaviors that get in the way of feeling good about yourself and sabotaging your potential? You are not alone. Many people silently suffer from addictive eating and alcohol consumption, anger, social anxiety, difficulties with focus, decision-making, and relationship problems. There is hope! You can break these frustrating and painful cycles of repetition, even if you have tried to change for many years. Quality skills-based counseling and coaching can help.
