You’ve been carrying a lot. Maybe for longer than you’d like to admit.
Anxiety that makes it hard to slow down. Grief that keeps catching you off guard. Depression that drains the color out of ordinary days. A life that looks fine on the outside and feels exhausting to live. Whatever brought you here — this is a place where you don’t have to keep pushing through alone.
At Rising Sails, I offer individual therapy for older teens and adults who are ready for something more than just coping. Real tools. Real conversations. Real change.
How Therapy Works Here
Sessions are one-on-one and built entirely around you. I’m not handing out worksheets or following a script. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, mindfulness-based techniques, and strengths-based practice — and I use whichever combination actually fits what you’re dealing with and where you want to go.
Some people come in with a specific thing they need to work through. Others come in exhausted and not entirely sure where to start. Both are fine starting points.
What I Specialize In
Anxiety and Chronic Stress Anxiety can look like racing thoughts, constant overwhelm, perfectionism, or a body that never fully relaxes — even when nothing is technically wrong. Therapy helps you understand what’s driving it and build tools that actually hold up under pressure. Individual therapy for anxiety in Dover, Delaware and via telehealth.
Depression and Low Mood Depression isn’t always dramatic. It can show up as numbness, disconnection, exhaustion, or a quiet feeling that nothing really matters anymore. Together, we work to understand what’s underneath it — and build a path toward the life you actually want. Therapy for depression in Dover, DE and across multiple states.
Grief and Loss Grief doesn’t follow a schedule, and it doesn’t always look the way people expect. Whether you’re mourning a person, a relationship, a role, or a version of yourself — you deserve support that meets you exactly where you are, without being rushed toward “moving on.” Grief counseling in Delaware and via telehealth in NJ, MD, VA, SC, and FL.
Trauma and PTSD Trauma lives in the body long after the event is over. It shapes how you see yourself, how you relate to others, and how safe you feel in the world. Using trauma-informed care, we work at a pace that feels grounded and safe — helping you process what happened and rebuild a genuine sense of peace. Trauma therapy and PTSD treatment in Delaware and beyond.
Life Transitions and Major Change A new job, a move, a relationship ending, a diagnosis, becoming a parent, losing a parent — transitions can shake your sense of who you are even when they’re changes you wanted. Therapy helps you make meaning of what’s shifting and step into what’s next with more steadiness. Life transition therapy in Dover, DE and statewide telehealth.
Burnout and Emotional Exhaustion When you’ve been giving everything to everyone for so long that you can’t remember what okay feels like, that’s burnout — and it doesn’t fix itself with a long weekend. Therapy helps you understand how you got here and rebuild in a way that’s actually sustainable. Burnout therapy and stress counseling in Delaware and via telehealth.
Low Self-Worth and Confidence Self-doubt has a way of touching everything — relationships, work, parenting, how you move through the world. We work to quiet the self-criticism, understand where it comes from, and build confidence that’s grounded in something real. Therapy for self-esteem and confidence in Dover and across DE, NJ, MD, VA, SC, and FL.
Family Dynamics and Communication Family relationships can be among the most complicated — especially during stress, change, or conflict. I help clients set clearer boundaries, navigate difficult dynamics, and communicate with more understanding and less reactivity.
