Mission...
"In striving to reach and maintain a high level of interaction and success for individuals of all ages, it is imperative to work closely with everyone in resolving social/emotional issues at the granular level through authentic and interactive discourse (talk therapy, mediational work, etc.), complemented by the use of proven cognitive behavioral devices (structure, timelines, etc.), to cultivate an infrastructure of real change through enlightened activity, healthy habits, and the realization of goals, giving individuals the actual skills necessary to succeed academically and emotionally."
Behavioral and Educational Consulting
"Our work focuses on both a strong experiential base in student/school interactions and culture, as well as family and social dynamics with an eye towards operational success in realtime. The goal, in all cases, however, is to attempt to uncover nodes of trauma, dysfunction, or difficulty--without exacerbating the given situation--in our youth and bring these somehow to light, and through talk therapy, identification, and activities, set a course for academic and emotional success.
Experience.
"I've worked with young people and their parents from all backgrounds for more than 25 years in and out of the school environment, both here and abroad, using experience, empathy, and training to gauge their challenges from their perspectives and my own. During these encounters, I am often able to discover trauma triggers, fears, and other experiential challenges that tend to exacerbate or ignite behavioral issues.
And, that's where we start--with parents, with children, with all concerned--and we begin to transcend our obstacles and learn how to, once again, succeed together."
