Find a Therapist in Middletown, DE

My communication style is empathetic and supportive. I encourage clients to express their authentic voice during sessions and I value open feedback to ensure their needs and goals are being effectively addressed.

My ideal client seeks a space where they feel understood and supported while navigating anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or burnout. Many are LGBTQ+ individuals, college students, veterans, or professionals facing stress, compassion fatigue, or identity concerns. They want more than coping strategies; they seek personal growth, resilience, and self-empowerment. Trust and authenticity are key, creating a space for deep exploration and lasting change. If this resonates, I look forward to supporting you on your journey. As a National Certified Counselor and Certified Trauma Professional, I prioritize rapport and a client-centered approach. Using an integrative framework, I create a safe, supportive space for adults to navigate challenges, build resilience, and develop tools for healing and growth. My goal is to provide compassionate, effective care tailored to each client. I provide personalized individual therapy, tailored to meet diverse needs, whether in-person or via TeleMental health services. Drawing from my experiences as a military spouse, foster care, and as part of the LGBTQ+ community, I offer holistic support for individuals facing transitions, family relationship stress, life struggles, addiction, and trauma.

Welcome! You’ve taken a wonderful first step in getting the support you or a loved one may need! Life can be complex and challenging, especially for children, teens, young adults, and individuals with chronic illnesses or developmental, behavioral, and intellectual challenges. If this resonates with you or someone you care about, or if you’re seeking behavioral or mental health support for yourself or a minor in your care, I am here to help. As a therapist, my goal is to create a warm, judgment-free space that empowers clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, work towards mutually established goals, and build skills. During sessions, I encourage clients to be themselves and do what they need to feel present. If you want to color, sit on the floor, wear comfortable clothes, play a game, or use a fidget toy, feel free to do so! I strive to use inclusive, neurodivergent, sensory-friendly, and developmentally appropriate techniques and treatments tailored to each client.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma to be able to live their life to the fullest.

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Grieving a loss that others don’t seem to understand? Or struggling with anxiety that’s quietly hijacking your day-to-day life? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, grief, and relationship conflict with compassion, clarity, and direction. My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and systems-based counseling, which means I don’t just look at symptoms, I help you identify strengths, shift patterns, and build new ways forward. Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or just feeling numb and disconnected, therapy can be a space to reset. I use evidence-based techniques, paired with a healthy dose of empathy and occasional humor, to help clients feel both seen and supported.

Life often presents us with difficulties and struggles. Sometimes having someone who is willing to listen without judging what you are going through can help you with sorting out your problems and difficulties. Telling your story enables you to come to terms with your current experiences. You may be dealing with difficult life events, feeling sad, anxious or depressed. Therapy can help you to learn coping skills and techniques to solve problems. I encourage you to reach out today to see how I can be of help to you. I have worked with clients with anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions and mood disorders. I enjoy helping those who struggle with a desire to change behaviors. I am passionate about working with those who are experiencing stress or anxiety and helping those dealing with problems with self-esteem or difficulties in their current or past relationships.

I am passionate about working with childrenl having difficulties with anxiety and emotional dysregulation. I utilize cognitive behavioral strategies, relaxation techniques, and other approaches based on the needs of the individual. In my spare time, I like walking my dog and spending time with my family and friends.

Are you looking for a safe therapeutic setting that offers you creative ways to explore the challenges you are facing? My goal is to ensure that you feel safe, heard, and understood. You can choose from a variety of experiential therapeutic tools to increase your awareness and insight and foster opportunities to heal and empower. We are all unique and require a different wellness plan to heal. For over 30 years I have worked with youth, adults, and families professionally and as a volunteer. My experience has provided me with an extensive tool box of interventions and therapeutic modalities in order to individualize treatment that will help you make the connections you need to find balance, growth, and meaningfulness in your life.

Success often comes at a personal cost. As an executive, entrepreneur, or leader, you’ve mastered the art of staying composed and performing under pressure. But behind the scenes, the stress of carrying so much responsibility can take a toll. Whether it’s the lingering effects of childhood struggles, strained personal relationships, or feeling disconnected from the life you’ve worked so hard to build, the cracks in your armor may be showing. If you’re tired of holding it all together while feeling alone, it’s time for a change. I specialize in helping high-achieving individuals resolve the personal and professional challenges that impact their lives. Using eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, I guide you in overcoming trauma, breaking unhelpful patterns, and improving relationships. Whether you’re managing anxiety, balancing work and home, or rediscovering yourself, our work is tailored to help you heal. You don’t have to sacrifice your personal peace for professional success. Therapy isn’t just about healing—it’s about building a life where you can thrive, both at work and at home. Let’s work together to address the barriers that are holding you back and create a life where you feel confident, connected, and in control. The first step starts here.

After struggling with anxiety or depression for long enough, you may start to feel stuck. Anxiety and depression can make us think and act in ways that ironically leave us feeling even more anxious and depressed, creating a kind of "vicious cycle." Fortunately, advances in evidence-based therapies have given rise to interventions that can reliably interrupt this cycle, so you can stop struggling and start living. I work with my clients using cognitive-behavioral and humanistic approaches, and incorporate mindfulness-based interventions to decrease the impact of challenging thoughts and emotions, while simultaneously increasing engagement with who and what matters most. Your values and goals will guide our work together every step of the way.

I offer compassionate and evidence-based therapy to help you navigate life's difficulties.

I'm here to listen without judgment and offer guidance on your journey toward healing and well-being. Together, we'll explore your thoughts and feelings, develop coping strategies, and build resilience. I believe in your ability to overcome challenges and achieve your goals.

I work with adults and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, ecological grief and difficult life transitions. I offer therapy both in an office setting and outdoors at Wissahickon Park for "walk-and-talk" therapy. I know what it's like to feel imprisoned by anxiety, depression and "shoulds"—to have an inner critic so loud and persistent you feel like you're drowning. I've been there. And I know it can feel like the only way out is to try even harder, to grit your teeth and just do better already. But I also know how exhausting that is, and that it never seems to last. The type of therapy I practice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), supports people in changing their relationship to inner struggles and finding new ways of "being" that free you up to breathe and just be yourself. Through our work together, you can begin shifting away from the rigid control tactics that don’t work on your emotions and instead embrace your emotions and inner experience in a way that fosters true growth, flexibility and peace.
