ABOUT

My training includes a Master of Science in Medicine (Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy) from the University of Sydney. I also completed Masters-level training at the Jansen Newman Institute, and I have ongoing involvement with the International Association of Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy (IARPP). This blend allows me to integrate the latest advancements with a warm, client-centered approach.

My academic background allows me to bring a unique perspective to my therapy practice. I completed my doctoral research at Harvard University, focusing on the intersection of trauma, creativity, and sexuality. I’ve held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Texas at Austin, the New York Public Library, and at Harvard. My ongoing research enriches my understanding of human psychology and development, and brings a depth of knowledge to my therapy practice.
