One of the life lessons I have learned through my practice and life experience is that we may know what the next right thing may be, but getting there oftentimes requires support, guidance, and self-trust. I truly believe we are all doing the very best we can with our present skill sets. Sometimes, we may already have existing support systems and still may not know which path to choose. Other times, we may feel alone in moving forward and confused about if our choices are “right.”

This is where I am hoping to help support you. I am a believer in the team effort! Whether that emotional team support be you and I alone, accepting me to your existing team of support, or learning how to build the support you need both in yourself and within the present world around you.

I come from a wide variety of professional experiences and training. I have worked within several dynamics and areas of practice, with the most recent being trauma and family conflict, before expanding my experience with older youth managing neurodiversity. I have been with Mind Your Mind NJ for several years and enjoy the team here! Currently, I am transitioning to supporting clients with:

  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Cultural dynamic issues
  • Communication challenges
  • Parenting support
  • Behavioral reactivity to stress and/or emotional experiences for clients of various ages/stages of life
  • Decision-making that may affect their lives longer term

I have several years’ experience managing:

  • Life transitions
  • Stress
  • Negative thinking patterns
  • Self-advocacy
  • Managing roles and relationships
  • Late life challenges

Though not a medical professional, I do have personal experience with self-advocacy in the medical world for chronic illness and have supported many clients in their own journey.

One thing that I do like people to know about me is that I can enjoy laughter often and can adapt to many different thinking or learning patterns. I invite you to begin this journey with me as your genuine self, without fear of judgment or wondering if you are saying the “right” thing. Taking this step forward by choosing support is the best next right thing you can do, and I would be thrilled to support you in moving in whichever direction makes you most comfortable!
