BIO
I received my PhD and Masters in Social Work from Hunter College School of Social Work and trained for 10 years in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the National Psychological Association for Psychoanalysis. I have enjoyed 30 years working with diverse populations and consider it an honor to be invited into people’s emotional lives. My direct practice, supervisory, and consultation experience include settings such as outpatient mental health, inpatient psychiatry, program development, child welfare, and family court. Additionally, I have provided consultation and trainings for the Administration for Children’s Services and served as Clinical Director of Family Justice, a community and research based organization. I am a Professor and the Director of Field Education at Molloy University on Long Island where I teach courses in Human Behavior Across the Life Span; Diversity: Oppression, Privilege, and Social Justice; Clinical Practice; and, Field Instruction. My interest in family issues led me to carrying out an extensive qualitative research study on sibling abuse, and I have presented nationally on the topic. I recently received the Educating Communities/Diversity Award from Long Island Business News. I am committed to creating inclusive school environments and increasing our primary and secondary school's culturally responsive educational practices. I am excited to produce a podcast launching November 2022 on clinical issues which can be accessed through my website (on the "podcast" tab) or on spotify, apple, or google titled "WWDMD: Insights not Oversights".
