I’m a psychoanalyst with 20 years of clinical work and over 10 years as a training and supervising analyst. Currently in private practice in NYC and Montclair, NJ.  Director of Psychoanalytic Training at Blanton-Peale Institute in NYC, where I also teach psychoanalytic diagnosis. Clinical supervisor at Blanton-Peale Counseling Center in New York and clinical supervisor in the PhD in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the University of Exeter in the UK. Full member, training, and supervising analyst at The New Jersey Institute for Training in Psychoanalysis. 

I’ve worked in various academic positions, teaching psychology of education, philosophy, and psychoanalysis in Brazilian universities. I also worked as the director of graduate programs in a public college and as the president of a public university in Rio de Janeiro.  I’ve worked as the staff for clinical professionals in 5 public mental health service units in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

My research interests and academic work focus on object relations theory and clinical practice, post-bionian perspectives and analytic technique, virtuality and its impact on free association, representation, and imagistic thinking in the analytic process, and religious trauma.
