Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist in Philadelphia
As a clinical psychologist and psychoanalyst, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate psychological and developmental challenges. I serve as the Director of Counseling and Psychological Services at Haverford College and hold faculty positions at The William Alanson White Institute and The Institute for Relational Psychoanalysis of Philadelphia. My practice integrates interpersonal and relational psychoanalytic approaches, emphasizing collaboration, self-exploration, and understanding interpersonal dynamics. With a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology, advanced training at the White Institute, and a Masters in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge, I bring over two decades of expertise to my work with adolescents and adults.

My therapeutic philosophy prioritizes the patients lived experience, fostering a safe space for clients to explore complex emotions, relationships, and existential concerns. I have authored and co-authored numerous publications, including the book *Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy with Adolescents*, and remain actively engaged in advancing psychoanalytic theory and practice through research and editorial contributions.
