Teaching & Supervision

I teach and supervise clinicians who want to deepen the way they work, not only in what they understand about their clients, but in what they are able to perceive and respond to in the therapeutic relationship.

My teaching draws on psychoanalytic psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, somatic and systemic perspectives, family systems, and Family Constellations, with particular attention to the relational field, embodiment, ancestral and intergenerational trauma, and the influence of culture and larger systems on clinical work.
