Therapy style
I began my career in Social Work working with older adults in a subacute/LTC center and have a passion for this population. At Robert Wood University Hospital and Atlantic Health, I provided training to staff as well as physicians about the best ways to motivate patients to work towards wellness, both medically and behaviorally. I have taught Grief and Loss Across the Lifespan to MSW students at Rutgers. I have successfully treated couples, women, and men for a variety of challenges and have provided a variety of different therapy models to help clients overcome the issues which have them feeling stuck, through teletherapy.
