Experience & Training

I have more than 25 years of clinical experience in medical, educational, and community settings. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Washington, with my principal internship at the Northwest AIDS Foundation. I completed advanced training in psychotherapy (2008) and psychoanalysis (2018) at the Seattle Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (SPSI). I am a faculty member at SPSI and at the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Besides my clinical training and practice, my background includes extensive experience in social work and health care administration.  As a therapist, I remain committed to my development through continuing education, consultation and personal growth.
