Servicing NY & NJ
Born and raised in Rockland County, NY, I currently reside in Bergen County, New Jersey with my husband and two children. I attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology.
I then went on to obtain my Master of Social Work degree from the Wurzweiler School of Social Work in New York City and have been working as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 1997.
I have spent the majority of my career working at a skilled nursing facility in New York City. I worked with both long term care residents as well as those on the sub-acute rehabilitation unit. I provided counseling, community referrals and discharge planning services. I not only attended to the needs of the residents, but my work also extended to helping those intimately involved in their care. I helped them cope with the complex feelings that surrounded the necessary decisions at this delicate stage in life.
With volunteer work being one of my guiding principles in life, I presently volunteer my services at a skilled nursing facility in Westwood, New Jersey. I run a weekly support group for the residents to help them cope with the transition from independent living to nursing home life. Additionally, I am affiliated with the National Association for Social Workers as well as the American Society on Aging, which allow me to stay current on issues pertaining to the aging population.
