Our licensed counselors provide individual therapy in Delaware

I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health (LPCMH) with 7 years of experience supporting older teens and adults. I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and challenges related to forensic system involvement. Many of my clients are seeking relief from overwhelming emotions, healthier relationships, and practical tools to manage life’s waves.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Slippery Rock University. My approach is client-centered and flexible, integrating cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to build coping skills, regulate emotions, and process pain in a collaborative and individualized way.

Healing is hard work, but you do not have to do it alone. I bring warmth, humor, and authenticity into our sessions, so growth feels supportive, not intimidating. If you are ready to begin—or even just considering it—I invite you to take the next step and schedule an appointment.

Based in Delaware, I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health with over 20 years of dedicated service in the human services field. My practice is committed to supporting individuals and families as they navigate mental and emotional challenges, drawing on extensive experience and a compassionate approach. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors with a variety of conditions from depression or anxiety to trauma and dissociative identity disorder. 

My therapeutic philosophy centers on person-centered and integrative techniques. I tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs of my clients. I am actively involved in community initiatives, providing crisis counseling, trauma-focused therapy, and psycho-educational groups for underserved populations. I strive to increase access to quality care. 

I believe in client-centered care and the power of therapeutic connection. My goal is to guide clients toward greater mental and emotional well-being, empowering them to overcome adversity and lead fulfilling lives. With compassion and expertise, I am committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those I serve.

I am a licensed professional counselor of mental health with over three years of experience working with diverse clients, primarily teenagers and young adults, while welcoming individuals of all ages. I specialize in anxiety, depression, and trauma. My goal is to help clients navigate difficult emotions, build effective coping skills, and live authentically despite the challenges their symptoms may create. I support individuals facing everyday stressors as well as those working through the impact of past experiences and trauma.

I use an integrative approach, tailoring treatment to each client rather than relying on one modality. I incorporate techniques from CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to meet individual needs. My style is casual, supportive, and professional, creating a safe environment where clients feel heard, build trust, and engage fully in the therapeutic process.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, and the journey can feel like a roller coaster with ups and downs. The good news is you are not alone. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. If you're ready to take this ride, I am here and invite you to schedule an appointment with me.

I received my Bachelor's degree in Human Services in 2017 and my Master of Science with a concentration in Mental Health Counseling in 2020. In 2023, I completed Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy training. I have gained experience working with individuals as a certified nursing assistant, childcare provider, substance abuse counselor, behavioral therapist, and in a private practice setting working with children and families.

Together, we will work to decrease impulsive behaviors, thoughts, and emotions that interfere with daily functioning and self-growth. Exploring positive alternatives and healthy habits will improve your ability to face life's stressors. Building trust, healthy rapport, and a new mindset is vital to lasting success.

My job is not to convince you to live a productive life, but to explore skills that help you take control of your own direction. I work with individuals navigating self-discovery, communication, acceptance, life transitions, anxiety, depression, burnout, and women's issues. All progress made in therapy is success—and an encouragement to keep going.
