Currently I am continuing to hone my skills in Transference Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) by completing a two years course with leading experts in the field. I recently completed a course in LGBTQ issues at the Columbia Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research to be able to be more helpful with gender-related issues, including trans-gender adolescents and adults.
