About Me
A Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have over 12 years of experience in the field of acute family trauma. In management with abuse/neglect matters with children, I sought to master helping adults heal from childhood abuse by use of clinical interventions. I serve as a Professor of Social Work with Rider University where I instruct courses for undergraduate students seeking a profession in the field of social work. In addition, I function as an Assistant Director with the New Jersey Department of Corrections' Office of Substance Abuse Programming and Addiction Services. With four years in private psychotherapy, I have an established practice in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. I am extremely authentic and client centered in my approach. I also enjoy integrative work with other modalities in addition to EMDR.
