Therapists in Hockessin, DE

I feel comfortable bringing my own life experiences into the counseling relationship. This helps me relate to my clients and connect genuinely. I do not see myself as an expert but as an objective helper who can reflect on what the client is going through, provide validation and understanding and then gently challenge clients to change patterns and make changes for progress. I enjoy being a partner with my clients to come up with strategies to manage the challenges they face. We all need a place to feel safe, listened to, and seen. I provide that space for clients and their families.

I enjoy working with children and families to address their unique circumstances and challenges. I work with children of all ages, from early childhood through adolescence. I enjoy supporting parents as they manage the ups and downs of parenting children of all ages. I work from a stregnths-based perspective and believe that client motivation to participate actively in therapy is a great indicator of success. I utilize evidence-based treatments including cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to treat anxiety, depression, stress, and challenging behavior.

I do my work with the knowledge that I have the honor to offer comfort to those who may have been greatly wounded. I approach my work with the awareness that everyone's story contains both beauty and pain. Just as the hurt occurs in the context of relationships, so does the healing.

Human connection is important to me, and I believe that strengthening our support system often begins with our families, those we are born with and those we choose. ​ I work with adolescents as well as adults, and through a person-centered approach, I strive to help empower clients to tap into their full potential. My clinical experience is with young people who have experienced trauma, and those with developmental challenges. Through my work as a grief counselor for children, I have a strong background in play therapy techniques. I also offer couples counseling, where I use the Gottman method to strengthen the relationship.

An ideal client, is an unideal person. If humans were perfect they wouldn't need therapy. I work with individuals, couples & families with a range of issues. I help people address unskilled thoughts, emotions &/or behaviors, helping them let go of things that are no longer serving them. If an individual desires to grow by developing their sense of awareness, while developing skills to help them lower their stress levels & address their issues, I can help. I work with all mental health conditions, or stress related issues. No issue is too small or too big for therapy. I am here to support others in their goals & personal growth.
