I have taught at secondary and tertiary levels in Australia and held academic and research appointments at the University of Southern California, American University Graduate School (Washington D.C.), and Georgetown University Medical School. I received the university teaching and research award for a National Institutes of Mental Health research project.
My work combines teaching and psychotherapy practice. Publications, presentations and workshops have been for: The Australian Psychological Society, American Psychology Association, American Educational Research Association, Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis, California Educational Research Association, European Mentoring and Couching Council, Jean Piaget Society the International Society for Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations, and other organisations.
Psychotherapy practice has been at Los Angeles County–USC Hospital, the Austin Hospital Adolescent Unit (Clinical Psychology Registrar), and private practice in Melbourne. My training was extensive including: Theory and Practice of Psychoanalysis (Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis); Clinical Issues in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Victorian Department of Health), and Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Monash University).
In addition, I have provided consultation on dispute resolution for organisations including the World Bank, State and Federal governments, the International Monetary Fund, and have been selected for the coaching panel of the Australian Institue of Company Directors.
