Are you feeling sadness and shame, depression or anxiety? These may be due to difficult life attachments or painful experiences. Or you may be going through grief or a loss. You just want to feel better and get back to your old self. Helping those in Maryland or N. Wilmington Delaware who are looking for counseling or therapy is my passion.

You and I will identify triggers that have big meanings or reactions to begin the healing process. We will look at the ways your childhood makes you who you are, but we won’t stay there forever. I will join you in the pain and offer very practical mind and body calming exercises. We will approach the hurting parts of you tenderly and learn how to use some of that pain for growth. You don’t have to remain stuck forever.

My approach is from both an emotionally-focused and trauma-informed (EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) perspective. Both of these therapies propose that the body keeps track of experiences and emotions, letting us know about vulnerability and emotional pain before our brain realizes it. When we slow our emotional responses down enough, we can discover triggers, body responses, meanings we make of these, and coping strategies that have been failing us.

If you are experiencing grief and loss, I would be honored to walk with you as you face these challenges. I am eager to integrate your faith-based perspective into our work together, if you wish. I am licensed in Maryland and Delaware and offer telehealth to areas such as Annapolis, Maryland, Easton, Maryland, Centerville, Maryland, and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
