About My Clients

I specialize in young adult issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and identity. I have postdoctoral psychoanalytic education and have testified in court as an expert witness on parent-child relationships following divorce. Working with survivors of sexual abuse and complex trauma was a main focus of my training and study.
