Working as a psychotherapist in private practice for 16 years has been an honor.
I have learned a lot from my patients, supervisors, teachers and colleagues. Psychotherapy can be intimate, touching and inspiring. It can be deep and occasionally funny but at its core it is a serious matter. People come in to talk abut the hard stuff. After 16 years of private practice while raising two children, one foster baby and going through one pandemic I feel it is time for me to do other things.
I am hoping to do more writing, improv theater and to offer more trainings. I am open to offers for both paid and pro bono opportunities for teaching and collaborating around psychoanalytic theory, parenting, immigration and the politics of psychotherapy.
