Through developing a strong rapport with the family, utilizing skills from CBT and DBT to effectively cope with stressors, and prescribing creative exercises, families who I work with that are committed to making changes will report "things do get better".
Former Program Director of the Child and Adolescent Program at one of the largest outpatient programs in New Jersey, I co-own BluePrint Mental Health with my husband John Mopper. I confidently treat children, adolescents and their families to cope with and overcome the barriers they are currently facing. Children and teens often shut down or act out when they are struggling and do not have the skillset to express themselves in healthy ways, which can leave a parent lost as to what is happening with their child and what to do.

I provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental environment for individuals and couples to feel heard and understood and to work towards desired changes. We'll collaborate to help you better manage stress, anxiety and/or depression, identifying and activating previously unrecognized strengths. I will help you to challenge self-beliefs about your limitations, as well as other negative thoughts, so you can achieve a higher level of functioning and greater emotional freedom.

I utilize a mix of CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Psychodynamic approaches.
When you think about a better future for yourself, what do you envision? Are you feeling less stressed? Are you more confident? Is your relationship thriving? Are you getting more time to do the things you love? Therapy is a journey to find a path towards those goals. Therapy is an individualized process. Sometimes, we aren’t always aware of the thoughts, beliefs, and situations that prevent us from feeling better or getting our needs met. Other times, we are aware of these things but unsure on how to limit how much they impact us and how we can manage them.
