As a licensed clinical psychologist, I hold advanced certificates in family therapy, infant mental health, and psychoanalysis with both children and adults. Over 37 years in practice, my emphasis centers on growth through individual therapy. I have focused on issues of self-regulation, anxiety, depression, and behavioral issues of infancy, childhood, adolescents, and adults. I also provide educational consultation, and parent coaching. As a Training and Supervising analyst, I offer psychoanalysis and professional supervision to other mental health professionals.

I use a relational, integrative approach to help those I work with realize their personal goals. All psychotherapy, regardless of modality begins with a relationship, which begins in safety and expands opportunities for self-realization. I believe people to be flexibly resilient and have the capacity for growth and positive change at any point in their lives. My professional work includes working with individuals who are stressed by the challenges of their daily lives as well as those who struggle with a mental illness, as well as issues of helping others. I encourage holistic health and wellness that includes, mind, body and spirit. I have extensive training and experience in providing psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic psychotherapy, and play therapy with small children.

I have had both my child-focused and adult-oriented work recognized through publication in peer reviewed journals on issues including, adolescence, autism, child maltreatment, evaluation of behavioral issues of infants, toddlers and children, parent coaching, parent-loss, issues that arise for children born through A.R.T, as well as issues of anxiety and depression during adulthood. In 2003 I received the designation of "Fellow of the Academy of Zero to Three". I am passionate about my work and believe that treatment focused on intervention, prevention and support can lead to a more meaningful life with promise and hope.
