Through extensive personal psychotherapy and her professional work, she has been able to conquer the effects of bullying in youth, a phenomenon that is in need of attention and intervention. She lives with her husband in Staten Island, New York.

My next book will be, at this point, a memoir on selective mutism and child abuse.
