I have been in the private practice of psychiatry and psychoanalysis since 1977. My work with patients emphasizes compassion, respect, and close collaboration. We work together towards increased understanding, enhanced sense of well-being, and greater effectiveness in personal and work relationships. My treatment includes problem solving, skill building, and removing obstacles to psychological growth and development.
I currently serve on the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the San Diego Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. I was selected to the Honors Program in Medical Education at Northwestern University Medical School, where I graduated in 1973. I am a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association; Diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology; and a Voluntary Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Psychiatry, UCSD School of Medicine.
