Great to meet you!

Born Long Island, NY in an Italian-Irish Catholic Family. PhD Psychology from Columbia University. Two childen in their 30's. Studied art, extensive volunteer work. Met my husband age 18, widowed age 59, relocated to New Mexico in 2017for a fresh start. Extensive experience working with combat veterans, and individuals with histories of trauma, addiction, ADHD, autism. Love working with teens, adults, elderly, couples and families.

My approach to therapy

Much of my work has focused on treating trauma, and I use a number of related therapies including EMDR, AIT, EFT and mindfulness. Overall, however, I believed that it is the relationship between provider and client that heals.
