I currently have a full-time private practice in Sarasota, Florida and am licensed in the State of Florida. I treat adolescents, individuals, couples and families of all ages and stages in life. I enjoy working with Inner City delinquent youth a well as with CEO's of national public companies. I am as comfortable talking about depression as I am about erections.
I have been in the national television scene since the late

2008. I danced on-air with the former President of the NAACP who hosted
a show on WBAL in Baltimore when I was promoting my book, recently
appeared on FOX NEWS, where I discussed celebrity marriages and have
counseled troubled individuals on-air on several national television

My greatest achievement however, is having a wonderful and loving relationship with my husband Elliot and with my 24 year-old daughter Jordana, who is a professional photographer living in Brooklyn, New York.
