Work History
I graduated from Fairleigh Dickinson University, in Clinical Counseling with a Major in Addiction Counseling. In September 2006 I received my New York State, License Mental Health Counselor. I have over 20 years’ experience of substances use therapy, working with dual diagnosis (Mood D/O’s, Anxiety and Depression). I have worked with women, men and the LGBTQ community addressing comorbidity issues. I have several years’ experience working in transitional housing with individuals with chronic medical, mental health, and substance use complexities that are interwoven within our psychosocial factors. I have developed the skills necessary to help others to empower themselves. My approach to therapy is motivational interviewing utilizing stages of change. I use CBT and client-centered therapy to meet you where you are in the stages of change. When we need assistance to move forward in life, the most precious gift we could give to ourselves is self-care.
