I bring clinical and academic experience to a practice that is always centred on the individual - thoughtful, confidential, and tailored to your needs.

My clinical training is extensive. I have worked as a psychoanalytic psychotherapist at Los Angeles County–USC Hospital and the Austin Hospital Adolescent Unit, and have maintained a private practice in Melbourne for many years. My formal training includes the Theory and Practice of Psychoanalysis (Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis), Clinical Issues in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Victorian Department of Health), and Child Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy (Monash University).

My work has always combined practice with teaching and research. After teaching at secondary and tertiary levels in Australia, I held academic and research appointments at the University of Southern California, American University Graduate School (Washington D.C.), and Georgetown University Medical School, where I received a National Institutes of Mental Health teaching and research award. I have presented and published widely for organisations including the Australian Psychological Society, American Psychological Association, Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis, and the International Society for the Psychoanalytic Study of Organisations, among others.

I am a Licensed Mental Health First Aid Instructor and a member of the Australian Centre for Psychoanalysis.
