My Professional Experience
Throughout my professional journey, spanning from 1997 to the present, I have served as a Private Practitioner in Manhattan, specializing in Psychoanalysis & Psychotherapy. In this role, I have honed my skills in providing comprehensive mental health services to individuals seeking a transformative therapeutic experience.
Additionally, from 2013 to the present, I have assumed the role of Clinical Supervisor at both the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training & Research (IPTAR)and the Metropolitan Center for Mental Health (MCMH). This multifaceted position involves guiding and supervising clinicians, contributing to their professional growth within the realm of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy.
In the realm of education, I have been actively involved in teaching since 2007. My instructional roles have included guiding students through topics such as Working with the Borderline Patient at the Institute for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, and at the Metropolitan Institute for Training in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I have also shared my expertise as an Adjunct Professor at Fordham University Graduate School of Social Services, covering diverse subjects like Generalist Social Work Practice, Human Behavior in the Social Environment, and Social Work Practice in Research. My commitment to fostering learning extends to various institutions, reflecting my dedication to shaping the next generation of mental health professionals.
