I am a licensed mental health counselor. I received my graduate degree from New York University, Applied Psychology department. I began my ventures in this field at Cornell Presbyterian Hospital in NYC, interning in the behavioral health department, treating substance abusers/mentally ill.  Upon my completion, I continued  in this arena, and obtained employment at Richmond University Hospital, formerly known as St. Vincent's Hospital on Staten Island, NY working with individuals  with  addictions, depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, etc..   I also had the opportunity to work with young teenagers at Girls and Boys Town, working in a non secure detention, treating juvenile teens while they waited to either be sentenced or released home as per judge's decision. Working with adults and  young adolescents provided me with much insight and knowledge treating both of the populations. I truly enjoy and love what I do and consider it an honor to have the opportunity to empower individuals to find their "greater self."
