I bring almost two decades of a variety of professional experience in the mental health field to the table, as well as lived experience in many of the niches I serve. I maintain my longtime credential as a fully Certified New York State Peer Specialist so that I can share with you my “school of hard knocks” life wisdom without crossing professional boundaries or making it about me, yet allowing me to be more openly human and more eye-to-eye with you than most therapists will dare. I have spent many years working in inpatient, on mobile crisis teams and on a hub of the 988 hotline, and thus I am very chill and nonjudgmental. From taking an intrapreneurial approach to creating new programs as a multi-program director of a nonprofit to being the current supervisor of other therapists at another clinic, as well as starting several business and my own private practice, I am creative and relish the challenge of finding unconventional answers to tough situations.
