Therapists Beginning With S in Delaware

Hi! I currently have availability for appointments and I respond to all email requests within 24 business hours so please check your junk mail if you haven't heard from me. I work adults of all ages. My focus is on working with clients who experience depression, anxiety, life stress/transitions, executive functioning challenges, emotional dysregulation, or self-harm. I specialize in building rapport with recent graduates, college students, young adults and adults approaching midlife as we work through stressor/adjustments in life.

I have experience working within inpatient psychiatric hospitals, forensic prisons, and community mental health. These settings have radicalized my approach to therapy. We will explore social and cultural systems, and varying levels of oppression and privilege that we may experience every day. Most importantly, we will explore how mental health and preservation is impacted by these systems. As a queer therapist, I am curious, warm, and open to my clients, while sometimes giving the gentle push needed while healing.

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.

You feel stuck. Day in and day out, the monotony of your life is so draining. You know you want to make a change, but what kind of change? A new job, new location, going to school, a different relationship... It is all so overwhelming. Where do you even start? And that's where you get stuck. Knowing you want this change but feeling paralyzed by the anxiety of the unknown. Or maybe even worse, the fear of making the WRONG decision. So you keep trudging along. Day after day. Stuck in this constant loop. You want to escape this, but you just need help!

Your path to recovery, independence, and a higher quality of life may feel distant, but you need not travel alone. As a Master’s level Mental Health Counselor, my passion is empowering people to accomplish their goals in a mindful and compassionate manner. I specialize in counseling adolescents, young adults and executives who experience excessive stress, substance abuse, depression, anxiety or additional mental health concerns. Blending empirical psychotherapeutic techniques with creativity, mindfulness, and self-compassion, we will take steps to Reconnect, Recenter & Restore your wellness.

Everyday new day you have awaken, you have gotten past your worst days. Anxiety , depression, OCD, and adjustment disorders can cause stress in day to day living. Many struggle to find a place to start, need someone to listen, or feel like nobody understands. The main goal that you are seeking is to reduce negative thoughts and promote positive thinking.

My goal is to help individuals work through obstacles and challenges that they may find hard to speak to friends and family members about. My objective is not just to provide coping skills but to heighten your awareness of what is causing obstacles. I specialize in the treatment of adolescents. Teens face challenges with feeling comfortable opening up and feeling like they can trust there stuff with others, so I aim to be a safe place for those individuals.

I see mental health therapy as an opportunity for growth. I am committed to helping my clients achieve their goals by providing a partnership that facilitates deeper awareness, leading to a new sense of empowerment and change. Many of the people I work with are experiencing relationship difficulties, life transitions, feelings of anxiety and depression, previous trauma, and loss.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor for the state of Missouri, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for the State of Kansas, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Minnesota, and a Professional Counselor of Mental Health for the State of Delaware. I am a National Certified Counselor with the National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc.

​I believe that therapy is a safe place where you can come and feel heard. I have an understanding that each person has their own story to share and different ways of processing their story. I enjoy working with individuals trying to navigate their way through life and helping them chart a course that will lead them toward feeling joy and a sense of purpose.

As a counselor and an art therapist, I offer both talk therapy and art therapy services. Sometimes, words aren't enough, and that's where the art comes in. The creative process can promote calm, focus, release of energy, conflict resolution, confidence, and self-awareness. If you would prefer not to make art, and just want to talk, that's fine too!

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.

Guiding my work is the belief that life is precious, and that learning to live more fully in the present relieves suffering. I will work with you confidentially. I will expertly help you manage extreme stress, discover strengths, and change patterns getting in the way of health and happiness. I work actively and collaboratively, and am eager to help adults struggling with a whole range of problems including: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and confidence, abuse and trauma, relationship issues, separation/divorce, personality issues, severe illness, and substance abuse.

Maybe you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. Perhaps you are going through a change and having trouble managing day-to-day life. Or maybe it's hard to put into words what you are feeling but know that something is getting in your way of living the life you want. Getting started in therapy is a big step! As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe in the power of empathy, authenticity, and connection in the work that we do together. I am passionate about helping Gen Z and Millennial clients navigate difficult experiences and emotions, as well as working to unburden themselves from what is holding them back.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, based in Media, PA and Wilmington, DE. I have treated individuals, couples and families for 25 years, and have supervised other therapists. I believe that it is the relationships we have with each other that determine our peace of mind and quality of life. It is through relating more clearly with each other that we can improve our lives. I also offer group therapy for men.

No one teaches us how to handle the setbacks of life. Whether they be personal, family, career, or interpersonal. Sometimes problems can feel like a tremendous burden. In fact, obstacles are often pathways to reach a higher understanding of ourselves and how we fit into the larger scheme of things. Freedom from fear, worry, anxiety, depression, and sleepless nights arrives with the acceptance of non-perfection. We are all human and fallible, born to make mistakes. In a world of judgements and comparisons we need to treat ourselves and others with respect and compassion. "Be yourself..everyone else is taken".

Having issues with love, sex, or intimacy? We should talk. Whether you're currently alone or in a relationship, love, sex, and intimacy are central and powerful sources of joy and satisfaction in our lives-so when it's not working, the pain and frustration can be just as powerful. If every conversation turns into an argument, we should talk. If you want to feel connected again, and reignite feelings that have somehow gotten lost over time, we should talk. If you have concerns about your sexual interests, behavior, or relationships, we should talk. Call us. We can help. :)

I am a National Board Certified Counselor. I have worked with people in a variety of settings for over 40 years. I want my clients to be comfortable knowing their privacy is acknowledged and protected. I limit the number of clients, so that I can be responsive to the needs of the people I see. I often speak with or text my clients between our scheduled sessions to help them through critical periods as needed. I currently specialize in Grief Counseling, Depression and Anxiety and issues in the LGBTQ+ community. My practice is out of my home which provides a warm, open and comfortable environment.
