Cliff is a staff therapist at Grace. He received his Masters in Counseling from Nyack College. He had the privilege of growing as a therapist at Beth Israel Hospital. His experience there included those who suffered from abuse, anxiety, and depression. It provided a wide range of valuable experience for him in the field of Mental Health.

     Before completing his Masters Degree, Cliff taught High School English for six years at an inner city school in Irvington, NJ.   He has also worked with youth in various churches as well as led several small groups encompassing various age ranges. These experiences have provided him with insight and understanding regarding the needs of both adolescents and the adult community.

     He has a firm commitment to the integration of biblical understanding and psychology; believing the two go hand in hand in understanding and helping people to grow into who God intended them to be. The foundation of his therapy is the belief that, “ashes can be exchanged for beauty, and that crisis provides opportunity.”      

     While working at Grace Counseling, he is continuing to grow, learn and be challenged as a therapist by pursuing his doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Long Island University.
