Beliefs & Lived Experience

Value doing good & being trustworthy. Moral compass includes mutual honesty, respect & reliability. Bringing peace & family functionality into awareness takes effort toward ease, addressing conflict toward resolution, communication barriers toward nonviolent & open communication where therapeutic wellness can occur for every human being. Positive results in Neuroplasticity need to be encouraged, practiced, & implemented beyond reading & talking through psychopharmacological & medical education. Mental health supports the implementation of difficult life choices. Exercise is a key component to living healthier & regulating an overstimulated nervous system as well as re-experiencing new pathways toward active solutioning for authentic and natural behavior change.

More About My Practice

Innovative therapeutic experiences in various environments include my private practice office in NJ, Telehealth, various open spaces that provide space for incorporating hiking, walking, meditative sit guided practices, playground assessments for developmental milestones, sand tray, movement practices for therapeutic sessions particularly with children & family therapy. I work with Collaborative care partners to facilitate & advocate for re-stabilization of family systems that have been destabilized by experiences of trauma, natural disaster, recovery, & military families at all stages of deployment cycles. These include and are not limited to medical, police, school SW & CST, IOP, Drug court, Law guardians & care managers.
