Welcome and thanks for visiting my Website! My credentials mean that I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am licensed in NY, NJ, MA and TX. It has been my priviledge over the past 20years to work with individuals and families suffering from various communication and emotional problems as well as the effects of trauma and violence. I provide clinical supervision to therapists and am well versed in the techniques of hypnotherapy, traumatic incident debriefing, stress management and secondary traumatic stress interventions. 

After the World Trade Center Attacks of 9/11/01 in New York, I directed the disaster mental health response called Project Liberty and since then have provided consultation and training throughout the U.S. and internationally. 

Since the devastating earthquake in Haiti, I have had many contacts from people who want to go there and help. I always recommend that people work through an established disaster response agency and make sure they are trained to do this kind of work. I decided that since there is alot to consider, I'd put my recommendations here on Page 3, so that people can take a long look and seriously consider what actions would be most helpful. Sometimes that means supporting an organization financially and/or letting other professionals do the fieldwork. Check out page 3 and decide for yourself. I hope it's helpful.
