I have continued to attend workshops, conferences and courses in subjects such as couples therapy, parenting explosive children, sexuality, and advanced clinical supervision.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I worked for six years at South Beach Psychiatric Center, Mapleton Outpatient division.  In this setting, I worked with a variety of patients including those with severe mental illness.  This work gave me a solid grounding and comfort with all sorts of people and an appreciation of the strengths that even very ill people can demonstrate.

Since 1980, I have been in private practice with adults in individual, group and couples therapy.

I have taught and trained other therapists at a variety of training centers including: the Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Study Center where I currently serve on the Executive Committee, Postgraduate Center for Mental Health, and the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy.
