Welcome and thanks for visiting my Website! My credentials mean that I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York and New Jersey with a national accreditation as well.

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. After Hurrincanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, I consulted with each of the Gulf States and helped launch a multimillion dollar intiative in Louisiana in partnership with the Baton Rouge Area Foundation. I continue to work with 25 states throughout the U.S. providing consultation and training around disaster preparedness and response as well as providing international consultation.

I am currently on the board of Psychology Without Borders, an international organization providing intervention, research and policy development in areas affected by the fear and terror of disasters and war.
