I graduated with honors in 2014 from Long Island University and subsequently received training and certification in EMDR. I worked both outpatient and in-home crisis intervention which included working with individuals and families struggling with abuse and neglect, addictions. I also trained in other models and presented workshops in outpatient clinics, colleges and at a national conference. I currently supervise therapists in trauma-informed practice.
