In-Person sessions in Northern New Castle County, Delaware


You feel tired, overwhelmed and you wish you didn't dread waking up in the morning. You feel disconnected and hidden from important others. You feel like everyone else has it figured out better than you and you keep wondering what’s wrong with you. It feels like nothing you do is good enough and you are constantly trying to keep up. You thought it would be different by now and you feel like it's your fault. You find yourself trying to ignore the pain, but deep down you know it's not helping. Something has to change.

You want to experience a deeper sense of significance in your own life. You want a greater sense of connection in your relationships. These nagging questions that keep you up at night have got to go. You are ready to start making changes to improve your life and learn how to be more compassionate with yourself. You are ready to find hope.

I help struggling couples and individuals in Maryland and Delaware to find emotional wholeness. In our sessions, I help you to improve your life satisfaction and move toward recognizing your worthiness. I am a certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) as well as certified in EMDR and SYMBIS Premarital

If you are ready for change, contact me for a free 15 minute consultation.

I work passionately at my own marriage. It is not always easy, but it is always worth it. This hard work makes me a therapist who can help hurting, disconnected couples. My personal inner exploration gives me compassion for individuals suffering from trauma and attachment pain. Within these areas, I have searched for and found what I believe to be some of the most connecting therapies, EMDR and EFT.

I was raised in Maryland as a military brat, and helped as a caregiver for my dad who had Alzheimer’s Disease. I was active in the homeschool community for many years in Delaware and, with my husband, experienced full-time ministry for a season.  

I have out-of-control curly hair, and I love a good craft IPA. I enjoy wandering, and one place I have wandered is to Burundi, East Africa to build friendships and to share my trauma training. 

I look forward to connecting with you soon!
