For You.
What We Do:
About Me
For over 20 years I have helped individuals and organizations change for the better. I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with supervisory designation and a Masters Degree in Social Work from Widener University as well as a Master's Degree in Comparative Religion from Temple University. Transformative Practices provides a space for stillness and practice. Together we build transformative practices that work for you in your context. What we do together matters as we change ourselves, our work, and our worlds. At Transformative Practices compassion and self-compassion are foundational.
What You Need to Know
We offer psychotherapy and coaching services. Whether you are looking to build a more mindful life, a trauma-informed environment, school, or classroom, are seeking to grow, or are looking to step out of a cycle of worry, anger and sadness, Transformative Practices is here for your healing and coaching needs.
At present, Transformative Practices offers individual psychotherapy and coaching services for ages 18 and up. All psychotherapy appointments are via our secure telehealth platform.
Expertise
My expertise lies in noticing and helping you notice. I help you access, what you already know, at least to some degree. I help you build transformative practices out of everyday actions. I will see you in your pain and not deny it. I will help you notice and build transformative practices and relationships that will nurture and sustain you.
I have extensively published on the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma Competent Care. I recognize that, while cognitive and behavioral work matters, so does the body and so do larger contexts of justice and injustice. Mindfulness and meditation are therefore integrated into care using the following modalities:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
Trauma Informed Care
Mindfulness Practices
About Transformative Practices
Our Experience
How do we change? How can we heal? What about the burdens of our ancestors and the burdens of life, work, and even the state of the world? How can we live and work in environments that are not built to nurture us and our communities?
Science and experience tell us that we are built to be well in the company of a supportive community. At Transformative Practices, we understand this and work first to truly see you for who you are and. We listen, before we talk. We build healing practices and transformation together. Our expertise lies in helping you access your innate wisdom and build the life you want based on this innate wisdom - not generic and formulaic prepackaged solutions.
