I am a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, Los Angeles (ICP), and an active member in ICP's bay area branch, ICP Bay Area. I am also a graduate of the Supervision Study Program at The Psychotherapy Institute in Berkeley, California. I have also been on the faculty of the Newport Psychoanalytic Institute in Orange County, California, and Seattle's Center for Object Relations. I am also an active member of the Women's Therapy Center (WTC) in El Cerrito.

I have experience working with people—both male and female, both heterosexual and homosexual—who have difficulty maintaining lasting and fulfilling love relationships. I also have a long-term interest in the treatment of adult-onset trauma (often referred to as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder or PTSD).

With regard to treating trauma, I am a member of the clinical staff of Survivors International, a nonprofit organization established to provide therapy for political refugees who have survived torture in their home country. I also work with military veterans, especially those returning from war suffering from combat trauma, or simply having difficulty adjusting to life at home. I am a veteran myself and I currently train other therapists to treat veterans returning from the wars.

These are just a few examples of the issues I have experience working with. Please contact me if you have any further questions.
