Training and Experience

My license number in the State of Washington is LW 60561989.

I am a board certified social worker and psychoanalyst with more than 16 years of experience and 8 years of post-masters training in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. I have held positions in non-profit leadership and provide clinical supervision to mental health professionals. My private practice is in Seattle's Eastlake neighborhood.  

I work with my patients to alleviate many human concerns and specialize in the following areas: Depression, Anxiety, Relationship Problems, Complex Trauma (CPTSD), Personality Disorder, and Children of Parents with Personality Disorder. I also have experience and interest in working with Addiction, Grief, Terminal Illness, and Creative Blocks.

While completing my master's degree in clinical social work from Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts, my principal clinical practicum was at the University of Washington's Harborview Medical Center.  Since obtaining my master’s degree, I have completed advanced training in psychoanalysis through the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute where I am an active member.  I am fluent in English and Spanish. To ensure you are given the best clinical care, I participate in on-going professional training and consultation both individually and through local and national professional organizations.
