This is my first career; it has always been my dream to help people. I never envisioned doing anything else in life. I’ve worked in a myriad of settings, ranging from satellite clinics based on early educational settings to social adult daycares (and everything else in between, including hospitals and intensive day treatment). I have completed training to be able to work in these settings, including courses on TF-CBT, motivational interviewing, and mental health first aid.
I received my BA in Psychology from LIU CW Post Campus (2004) and my MSW from Fordham Graduate School of Social Service (2013). I have 17 years of experience in the child welfare system, seven years of clinical practice, five years of practicum instruction and two years as an adjunct professor for social work education. .
I use a variety of treatment modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), Gestalt-therapy, trauma-based therapy, and psychodynamic therapy,
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in New York. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Saint John Fisher College.
Sometimes life can be so beautiful, and sometimes it can seem daunting, scary, and overwhelming. I am here to walk on one’s journey with him/her/them to help make sense of this crazy and complicated thing we call life. I believe that no problem is too big when one views the person behind the suffering. I have found myself drawn to cases that are often avoided and cast out within the system, those that others struggle to help and find an answer for.
In my twenties, I studied philosophy and English literature. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for 15 years in magazine journalism.
I worked for 6 years in hospice care, first as an interfaith chaplain and then as a bereavement counselor.
I enjoy nature and the arts: music, poetry and painting. I practice Tibetan Buddhism.
I've been married for 30 years and have two adult daughters.
I incorporate emerging evidence-based treatments that support neuro-plasticity and expanded awareness.
