ABOUT
Egon Schiele, “Flowers (Bindweed and Poppies)”
“I was born very far from where I'm supposed to be, and so I'm on my way home.”
I am a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist in private practice in Western Massachusetts working primarily with adults, couples and families.
In addition to being a training and supervising analyst at Western New England Psychoanalytic Institute in New Haven and at Boston Psychoanalytic Society & Institute, I’m a supervisor and personal analyst at Massachusetts Institute for Psychoanalysis (MIP) and affiliate faculty member at Austen Riggs Center in Stockbridge, MA. A member of the International Psychoanalytical Association (IPA) and the American Psychoanalytic Association (APsa), I am certified as a psychoanalyst through the American Board of Psychoanalysis (ABPsa).
Former editor of The American Psychoanalyst (TAP), current member of the Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association (JAPA) editorial board and peer reviewer for a number of publications including the International Journal for Psychoanalysis, I write, teach and present on a range of subjects.
Before moving to the Berkshires, I worked in New York City with adults, children, adolescents, couples and families.
Before turning my attention and professional intentions to psychoanalysis, I was a student of literature. I continue to be fascinated and enlivened by the bridges between the two disciplines. Surely my background in literary studies informs my theoretical inclination: a grounding in Freud and Klein, an elaboration through Bion, Winnicott and the British Independents, Ogden, Post-Bionian Italian Field theory – and a smattering of French psychoanalysis.
And before moving to the Northeast, I was born and bred in Texas.
