Gottman Method Therapists in Milford, DE

Your mental health is very important. Whether you are in the midst of a crisis, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in the same pattern of hurts, habits, and hang ups - I can help. Change is possible. You don't have to go through it alone not knowing what to do. I work with individuals and also with couples. When it comes to relationships the reality is that they take work, but sometimes we don't know what work needs to be done, or how to do it in a way that strengthens the connections between each partner. That's where I come in.

I specialize in working with individuals who: are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, are recovering from Trauma Related to Religion, have ADHD, suffer from depression, are having relationship issues, suffer from Trauma and PTSD, suffering from addiction, and experience debilitating anxiety. As someone who is also a part of the LGBTQ+ community, I can empathize with many stressors that you may have that relate to that topic. I also work with individuals who identify as straight, as well. If you are looking for someone to join you on your journey of healing and growing, don't be scared to take that first step; I am only one call away.

Human connection is important to me, and I believe that strengthening our support system often begins with our families, those we are born with and those we choose. ​ I work with adolescents as well as adults, and through a person-centered approach, I strive to help empower clients to tap into their full potential. My clinical experience is with young people who have experienced trauma, and those with developmental challenges.

I specialize in individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and trauma therapy; focusing on therapy with children 8 and up, therapy with teens, and women’s therapy.

I practice in VA and DE. Supportive reflection with compassionate listening and understanding are the hallmarks of my practice as I work collaboratively to achieve my client's treatment goals. Attending therapy is a time not only to address immediate concerns but to understand how past experiences impact present behaviors and responses. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples to enhance their relationship with themselves and others. In therapy we will build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. As a clinical supervisor for resident in counseling, I encourage residents to practice with these values.

At times, life can be painful, heartbreaking, and completely devastating. As we go through life, we are constantly exposed to reality gaps—the gaps between the reality we have and the reality we want. The larger the gap, often, the more unsettling the pain. I meet people where they are and help them work to meet their personal goals and values. I’m skilled at creating an environment in which individuals feel heard, understood, and affirmed, but also challenged. I have extensive experience working with adults and adolescents experiencing chronic depression, anxiety, attachment issues, and interpersonal relationship conflict.

Are you struggling with a feeling of disconnection from your usual self? Are you constantly overwhelmed, anxious or worried? Feeling angry, alone or isolated? Feeling connected and understood can be difficult when you feel so alone in what you are experiencing. I am committed to helping individuals struggling with emotional challenges of pregnancy, postpartum, infertility and parenthood find their way towards feeling better and restoring their connection with themselves and others who are important to them.
