Hello

My journey to becoming a therapist has been anything but conventional. Initially, I earned a master's degree in environmental geography, but life took a different turn when I joined a band and worked as a bartender. It wasn't until I turned 30 and began teaching high school that I discovered my true passion for helping others, which led me to pursue a second master's degree in social work. With the guidance of mentors and my own experiences in long-term therapy and group sessions, I furthered my training at the Center for Group Studies in New York City, where I now serve on the faculty. CGS is dedicated to exploring the emotional narratives from our past and their impact on our relationships today. I invite you to use the link below to learn more. I have also received education and community from being a member of AGPS. Now almost 20 years into this journey I enjoy giving back through teaching and mentoring. In addition to my teaching role at CGS  I will also be leading a workshop at the AGPA annual conference on how our trauma can be used to lead a group. This summer I will also be presenting at the Creativity and Madness conference with a talk titled Lenard Cohen: Creation in Spite of Depression. I'm always glad to visit with anyone about the different ways to do this work and advise on how to progress professionally. If this resonates with you please reach out.
