I hold a Master of Arts in Social Clinical Psychology from the famed social-political institution, The New College of California. I was clinically trained by psychoanalytic Italian clinician Dr. Lucca Didonna and psychoanyaltic Israeli clinician Dr. Channa Eckstein. Both psychoanalytically trained psychodynamic clinicians. I earned a Bachelor of Art degree with a focus on Art History with an emphasis on Art and Architecture. I studied under the tutelage of Yale trained professor Dr. Judith Bettleheim. I spent many years working in the Fine Art Auction world before returning to school to study clinical psychology. I opened my private practice in San Francisco in 2005. In 2020, I returned to Southern California after 30 + years in San Francisco. I now reside in the Palm Springs area. Over the past 15 years, my clinical work has focused on complex trauma, PTSD, Relational Trauma, Attachment difficulties, life transitions, and the process of finding identity and individuation. Additionally, I am a certified Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) clinician and use this powerful tool in my practice when clinically appropriate, to help clients with a wide range of issues that include: eating disorders in remission, phobias, generalized fear, PTSD and substance use relapse prevention. EMDR session are 60-90 Minutes in length. The fee for these sessions is 220.00. Our first few assessment/intake sessions are 45-50 minutes. My fee for those sessions are 180.00.
