Hi there! I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) based in Delaware. I have 5 years of experience in the field of counseling and have experience working with individuals and couples who are experiencing addiction issues, eating/feeding disorders, sexual dysfunction, paraphilic disorders, mood and personality disorders, dissociative disorders, and Autism. I have been an Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor since 2020, and I received my Certification in Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist in 2022. I work with young adults starting at age 14 and adults ending at age 55.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During an intake session I will take notes and ask questions. After I get through the initial information I am very interested to hear about you. I want to know what makes you special and unique. I want to know anything and everything you are willing to tell me. Also, during this appointment, you can ask any questions you have about me or my therapeutic style.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are being; hardworking, passionate, caring, kind, open-minded, and non-traditional. I am not your "typical" therapist, I enjoy being authentically me. I am an out and proud lesbian and I don't hide that. I have blue and purple hair (for now) and I change it often. I enjoy working with people who are their unique and quirky selves.

My treatment methods

Brainspotting

I started using Brainspotting when I opened my private practice in February of this year. I like to use it for clients with severe trauma and dissociative disorders to help gain understanding and freedom from events that happened in the past.

Couples Counseling

I work with couples within the LGBTQ+ community as well as within the polyamorous and BDSM/Kink community. I do not mediate arguments in session I will stop the argument and then address the reasons for the argument. I enjoy working with couples who have communication difficulties and who are navigating a specifically difficult area of life.

Gender-affirming therapy

I work within the LGBTQ+ community and have a wide knowledge base for trans and gender-diverse clients. I like to work with people on their journey to discovering who they are and what they want from life.

Sex Therapy

I have been working in sex therapy for about a year now. I work specifically with LGBTQ+ people and couples, as well as poly and BDSM/Kink couples. I enjoy working with couples who are either exploring dynamics or who need assistance with setting goals and boundaries with their partner(s). I have experience with sexual dysfunction as well as paraphilic disorders as well.
