I embrace both a broad and deep engagement with my work. In my professional life, I have fully immersed myself in the multiple roles that I was trained to fill, including supervision, assessment, psychotherapy, consultation, and administration. In each of these roles, I bring a psychoanalytically informed approach to develop an understanding of process, unconscious motivation, and outcome.

I pursued advanced training at the William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis, and Psychology. There, I engaged in unspecialized training through the Eating Compulsions, Addictions, and Compulsions (EDCAS) training program. Afterward, I completed a fellowship at the Psychoanalytic Institute of New England (PINE), where I am now an adjunct faculty member teaching about transference and countertransference.

Over the years, I have become increasingly interested in how students and trainees develop a professional mind and have pursued additional interests in how psychoanalytic psychology can help to understand sociopolitical issues. Last, I maintain a small private practice working with individuals (adolescence through the later life) experiencing complex trauma, chronic pain and health conditions, existential concerns, and distressing relationships with food and their bodies.
