Work HistoryI started my career in behavioral health in 1996. I have a BA in psychology from the University of Delaware and a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. I spent 20 years of my career working at internationally recognized non-profit organizations in NYC and Philadelphia, serving on the Senior Management Teams of the Center for Urban Community Services (NYC) and Project HOME (Philly). I initially became an LCSW 2009 in NY state, and have been licensed in PA since 2012. I have extensive experience directly supervising those in leadership & management positions using my clinical skills and Trauma-Informed lens to inform my supervision style, as well as leading teams of staff providing direct, social services across a large spectrum of specialties, roles, and professional experience. I am a skilled trainer & presenter, and bring teaching & coaching techniques to my work. I have had success facilitating meetings on an extensive array of difficult subjects, with sensitivity.
