Therapists in Newark, DE

25 yrs. of experience. My prof. philosophy centers on change and the human capacity for personal growth. Humans have the innate ability to reason and respond to life: "Life is 10% of what happens and 90% of how you react to it." As a therapist, my responsibility is to help maximize the 90% factor. As we work together, we will develop ways to explore your life events and seek strategies for change. Sometimes the 10% factors of life can keep us from reaching our goals or potential. It is at this point, when a professional therapist can help. "Change your habits....Change your life."

I strive to connect with you on a personal level, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment where you feel seen and understood. In our space, all feelings, thoughts, and experiences are valid.

Sometimes experiencing anxiety feels worse than anything else. You may feel overwhelmed, frustrated, irritable, worried about the uncertainty of life, and completely isolated from the world. Anxiety can lead to intrusive thoughts, avoidance of one or more situations, and reassurance-seeking from family and friends. Maybe anxiety causes you to obsess over things like-- "Did I make the right choice? What if something bad happens?" Anxiety is uncomfortable, physically and mentally draining, and, at times, depressing. You might feel a complete lack of control and find it hard to cope on a day to day basis.

If you are struggling with issues that are taking place within, as well as the challenges in the world around you, I have deep compassion for those who are in need of someone who will truly listen to their heart's concerns and assist them in navigating peace in their minds and create balance in that world.

New to the Practice/ Accepting New Clients.....I have spent over twenty years in varying capacities within the Mental and Behavioral Health Field. Clients attend therapy for various reasons and my approach to therapy leads with compassion, a great deal of empathy yet direct. I take a holistic approach to assisting clients with navigating life events and past traumas. I have worked with a wide range of emotional and behavioral struggles that impact adolescents, adults, couples and families. My focus is assisting clients in changing unhealthy thinking errors and core beliefs to overcome life’s challenges.

Overthinking is a common problem many face, and it can be caused by various reasons such as stress, anxiety, self-doubt, or perfectionism. When we overthink, we tend to focus on the negative aspects of situations and often exaggerate them in our minds. This can lead to feelings of worry, fear, and even panic. Overthinking can take up so much mental energy that it makes it difficult for us to focus on other tasks at hand or fully engage with people around us. It is important to allow ourselves the freedom to enjoy the present moment and find joy in life's simple pleasures.

I believe in our ability to change, grow, and live truly inspired lives. It can be so hard to find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, worried, & unable to manage your emotions. You start to feel helpless and out of control. Or maybe, you are highly critical of yourself...and sometimes others. You constantly compare yourself to others and usually fall short. You just can't seem to quiet that negative voice in your head. It seems to have taken over and it's causing problems in many areas of your life. At its worst, it even affects your relationships with those you hold most dear.

Looking for the "right" therapist can be a daunting task. It might be helpful to know, I felt it was necessary to first earn the right to accompany others on their personal psychological journeys by embarking on the same psychological journey, on which, I would be inviting and accompanying my clients. In addition to my formal education, it is by continuing on my own therapeutic journey, that has afforded me a deep comfort level, degree of understanding and respect of this process, regardless of what in particular finds you seeking support. Additionally, I am a holistic practitioner, using both eastern/western approaches.
