interest in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. She served as
a consultant and therapist at a residential treatment

in her current work with disenfranchised adolescent
girls. Current areas of interest include, recent
developments from brain research on psychotherapy and
new perspectives from Contemporary Self Psychology.
