About Victoria

Born and raised in New York City, I moved to Baltimore in 2004 and have loved living here since. I completed my Masters in Social Work in 1992, and my Ph. D. in Clinical Social Work at New York University in 2012. I have worked in both private therapy practice and in hospital settings, both medical and psychiatric, throughout my career. In addition to doing research, I have taught courses at the graduate level on death and dying, severe mental illness and assessment and treatment of personality disorders at New York University, University of Maryland and the Jewish Family Services Agency.
