Updated mission statement:Anomaly Acres will be a self-sufficient, socially conscious, ecologically sustainable, non-discriminatory, financially thriving, equitable community, fully ADA accessible, and most importantly, rematriated to the Lenape Tribe (also refered to as the Deleware Tribe) and other indigenous people who will steward the land according to thousands of years of traditional knowledge. It will be a combination of integrated for-profit and non-profit businesses, where the for-profit businesses fund the non-profit businesses allowing for tax dispensation of the for-profit businesses. Behavioral healing, medical healing, nutrition, and spiritual healing will be available to all who live, work, and visit. Everyone living on property will contribute in some capacity to the running of Anomaly Acres, however they are capable, in return for housing, food, health insurance, basic necessities, and a generous monthly stipend. Elders of all traditions will be encouraged and given the highest honor; their wisdom being their contribution. Skilled workers are encouraged to work in multiple disciplines. Artists are desired for their cultural contributions. Peace and love will be the rule of law; hatred will not be tolerated.

My clinical practice is focused on helping people recover from complex trauma. I am a peer support and clinical therapist. I work collaboratively with clients and other peer support professionals in my practice when clinically indicated. I keep my client list small so that I can spend quality time with clients, even if I cannot bill for the time. I believe that having a reliable, trustworthy, and consistent relationship is necessary to heal. That may take six months or six years. Insurance won't pay for that level of care, but being able to help someone heal their soul is worth more karma than all the millions in the world. I find that clients appreciate having a therapist who has first hand knowledge of the emotional roller-coaster ride of PTSD, depression, and chronic pain. My therapeutic approach is influenced by a decade and a half working with indigenous communities around the world, Buddhist Psychology, comparative religions, Logotherapy, Gestalt Therapy, Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, and Jungian Psychoanalysis. I prefer to work with adults. I'm an advocate for cultural diversity, disability rights, and I'm a friend to the LGBTQAI+ community. Politically, I view myself as very liberal.
