Work History

Throughout my professional career, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide array of clientele. I started out my career working at an agency called Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY). I worked on multiple teams while I was there. The first team I worked on was the Geriatric Crisis Team; I had the opportunity to provide home visits and counseling to a geriatric population suffering from loss, bereavement, PTSD, depression and dementia. I also worked with the agency's Mobile Crisis Team (MCT). While working on this team, I had the opportunity to evaluate and treat adults who were in the midst of a psychiatric emergency. I was also able to determine what course of treatment would be helpful, whether it be an emergency room or another mental health provider. My next job was working in an outpatient mental health clinic that was affiliated with a busy hospital in the Bronx, NY. I carried a caseload of over 70 clients, and was responsible for providing individual and group counseling. The clients I worked with carried many different diagnoses, including depression, schizophrenia, PTSD and personality disorders. I was responsible for treatment plans and at times, acted as a liaison between the patients and their psychiatrists. My current job is in a public school in the South Bronx, New York City. I work with children aged 4-10 who have Individualized Education Plans (IEP's) and who need counseling as part of their mandated services. My children have anger disorders, attachment disorders and mood disorders. Additionally, many of them are in foster care and/or temporary housing. \
