I have 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist and psychoanalyst and I have a private practice in psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy in Sacramento, where I provide treatment and consultation services. I treat people with a variety of issues and I have a subspecialty in the treatment of eating disorders.
Prior to moving to Sacramento in 2001, I lived in Marin County, had an established and successful practice and created and directed an outpatient eating disorders program in San Rafael. I actively pursue and participate in many different teaching and consultation situations, conferences, seminars, individual and group consultation, lectures and self-directed study to keep my knowledge current and relevant. I am passionate about the value of a psychoanalytic sensibility in understanding human behavior and relationships, regardless of the particular treatment modalities employed. I am actively involved in Sacramento creating a psychoanalytic community, with the goals of helping clinicians appreciate the usefulness of psychoanalytic formulations and providing educational opportunities for local mental health professionals of all levels. I have taught psychoanalytic ideas in many different venues: universities, continuing education course for professionals, conferences and seminars: private supervision and consultation.
