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.

I've never had therapy before and Learie arrived in my life precisely when he was meant to. Through his tremendous and vast amount of knowledge and skill, I found myself becoming lighter mentally and able to be more at peace. Learie is engaging and has a keen eye on the discussion or topic at hand. I would recommend Learie to absolutely anyone looking to ease any mental anguish or problems they may have.

He is fantastic! He brings a wealth of knowledge to each season and helps me see patterns I was blind to.
