I am deeply committed to intellectual engagement and to creating spaces for thoughtful learning and dialogue in the community. I offer courses and workshops that bring psychoanalytic ideas into dialogue with film and cultural texts, alongside accessible introductions to core psychoanalytic concepts. These offerings are designed for both professional and general audiences. I also offer topic-focused psychoeducational groups to build coping skills and resilience in a supportive environment.
