I elicit hope when the world seems hopeless. My approach is to develop a therapeutic relationship where authenticity is encouraged in a compassionate, judgement free space. Majority of the children I work with simply want to just be kids, but there is a concern or barrier that needs to be addressed or removed first. Majority of the youth I work with are trying to figure out their purpose and how to focus on the future. The families I work with want to reduce stress and be cohesive. The couples I work with want to be unified and feel like they are together in their relationship. The adults want to be happy and content.

Lighthouse Counseling & Sand Play Training Center, LLC was conceived in 2000 in a tiny office in Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey by Gretchen Morgan and Mary Pat McGeehin. Their search for effective treatment led them to include the use of Sand Play Therapy, EMDR, yoga and therapeutic group work with their clients. This was in response to the expanding body of research which illustrated that the mind-body connection was integral to the healing of mental health issues. In 2004, they expanded their practice to include like-minded affiliate clinicians and moved to a larger facility in Eatontown, New Jersey.

I want to offer you exactly what I would be looking for, someone who is authentic and genuine and who isn't afraid to say “I don’t have the answers”. Admitting that gives you and I the opportunity to find the best ones for you through a safe and thoughtful therapeutic approach. Life is messy, love can be hard and work often feels like bullshit, (excuse my french). Therapy shouldn't be a one size fits all, and being comfortable with the person across from you matters. Whatever your need, want, or goal may be, I feel the best approach is an integrative one.
