About
Have you felt like you are all alone in this? Have you felt like you have no one to turn to, or no one understands? Are you tired of holding back because of anxiety or negative self-view? Does this topsy, turvy world make you feel hopeless? I know firsthand how overwhelming it can feel to struggle with your mental health, and how powerful it is to finally feel seen and understood. Together, we can overcome these issues. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and a person centered approach to foster a collaborative, grounding, healing and empowering experience with my clients. I strive to show up as a real, compassionate human while helping you navigate life’s challenges. If you'd like to feel less alone, less anxious and more confident in yourself, please feel free to reach out to me for a consultation. Specialties: I primarily work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and women's issues. Many of the clients I support come to therapy unsure of where to begin or hesitant to ask for help. Together, we work toward clarity, self-understanding, and meaningful change in a supportive, judgment-free environment. Credentials & Experience: I have six years of experience working in community-based, school-based, and outpatient settings with adults, children, and families. No matter the setting, my focus has always been on creating a safe, compassionate space where you feel supported and respected. I am fully licensed in DE.
