Specialty/Practice Description

Psychoanalysis, Psychotherapy and Clinical Supervision.
I am a board certified psychoanalyst (BCD-Psychoanalyst) and clinical social worker licensed in the State of Washington (LICSW); a Fellow of the International Psychoanalytical Association (FIPA); and a training and supervising analyst with Northwestern Psychoanalytic Society and Institute, where I currently serve on the Board of Directors, as Faculty in the Infant Observation and Psychoanalytic Training, and as Director of Training for the Institute overall. I am also a past-president of Washington chapter of the World Association for Infant Mental Health. I have particular clinical interests in infancy, maternal reverie, and early life, and in psychoanalytic teaching and learning. Consequently, I am also an approved supervisor under Washington state law. I welcome inquiries about treatment, supervision and consultation, or general questions about NPSI.
