Eye-opening, Challenging, Supportive, Life-changing: These are words clients have used to describe our therapy work together. Many of the individuals with whom I work are experiencing relationship difficulties, life transitions, feelings of anxiety and depression, previous trauma, and loss. I strive to help people gain increased awareness, learn to live more in the present, improve their relationships, and recognize the "shoulds" and other messages that are holding them back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. As a Gestalt-trained Therapist, I see "symptoms" as creative adjustments developed in response to difficult or invalidating environments and experiences.
I am one of a small number of Domestic Violence Specialists in the state of Delaware, and I am committed to working with adolescents and adults who've experienced intimate partner abuse. I am also trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy protocol for treating trauma, depression, anxiety, & other conditions.
From the start, co-creating a space and relationship that feels comfortable for people to connect with their authentic selves is important. My office is warm and welcoming, "like home" many say. For more information about me or my approach, please visit www.appocounseling.com.
