About

I trained and graduated as an adult Psychoanalyst from the New York Freudian Society, now the Contemporary Freudian Society. I have additional training from the Ackerman Family Institute and worked on a long term psychoanalytically oriented inpatient unit headed by Otto Kernberg at The Psychiatric Institute of Columbia Presbyterian Hospital for eight years treating adolescents and families. I am member of the permanent faculty and a Training and Supervising Analyst at CFS since 1995. As part of my contribution to the community of CFS, I spearheaded the accreditation of the Psychoanalytic Institute of CFS with Sevis to accept and train international candidates. As a Board member for 12 years, a chair and member of many committees, I worked for our Institute and Society to expand and promote my love of psychoanalysis to candidates, members and the community.
