Professional background

I received my doctorate from the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California where I am currently a personal and supervising analyst and faculty member. I am assistant clinical faculty at UCSF.

I also regularly teach/have taught courses (dreams, infancy, psychosomatics) for several institutes and professional organizations including Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology, Palo Alto Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Training Program, Access Institute and Santa Clara University Continuing Education.

For the past 18 years, I have been involved as an observer and leader of Tavistock model infant observation groups. I have published on the topics of psychoanalysis and infant observation. I am a member of a reproductive technology research group and consult to Lucille Packard Children's Hospital (Neonatal Intensive Care Cudder Program).
