A Closer Look...

Following a rewarding career as a professional modern dancer in New York City, I received my Masters Degree in Social Work (MSW), with a clinical concentration from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Sciences, NY, NY. During this time, I completed one-year internships at Covenant House NYC, which provides mental health and concrete services to homeless adolescents and young adults, and the Psychotherapy and Spirituality Institute, which emphasizes a spiritual approach to counseling and psychotherapy. 

I completed a four-year training program at the Helix Institute for Healing and Psychotherapy and a one-year certificate program at the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies, both in Manhattan. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in PA and and a licensed master social worker (LMSW) in NY. In addition, I am a certified Kundalini Yoga and Meditation instructor. 

I recently completed five years of employment working as a school-based mental health counselor in the Pennsylvania Student Assistance Program (SAP). During the course of this employment, I worked with students from grades K-12.

I have been working in the field of counseling for twenty-five years and in the field of yoga and meditation for three decades.
