About me

I have been a therapist for the past 36 years. It takes courage and skills to ask for help. I have worked in numerous settings in New York, Florida, and Trinidad and Tobago. I meet people where they are in their personal lives and have learned throughout my years of experience that each person is unique. I was educated at Adelphi University in Long Island, New York, and have been privileged to work with exceptional people throughout my career. It is always a pleasure to help people to find solutions to their interpersonal issues, I truly believe that all issues have a solution. I have the capability to work with anyone especially adults and individuals who have committed crimes. I use different modalities to work with people. Get to know me.

My first time in therapy and it’s been great. Learie is a great therapist with a lot of experience and knowledge and gives me great feedback. Talking to him is really easy.

I’ve been seeing therapists for several years and Learie has been the only one that has actually been helping me with my mindset. I wish I would have been in contact with him years ago!!!
