Psychoanalyst/

Psychotherapist

I am a certified psychoanalyst and a licensed psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. I teach and supervise at the American Institute for Psychoanalysis (AIP) and serve as an Archives Editor for the American Journal of Psychoanalysis.

I am certified in Psychoanalysis (2018) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy (1998) at the American Institute of Psychoanalysis. I obtained my master’s degree in clinical social work from New York University (1996), and I have a degree in psychology from Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski in Bulgaria (1991).

Over the years, I have worked with adults, children, and families in various clinical and educational settings, including the Reece School, Spence Chapin Services for Families and Children, BMCC, Brooklyn College, the Karen Horney Clinic, and other mental health clinics.

I work with clients on a range of emotional issues, including depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, parenting, adoption, and issues of cultural adaptation and immigration.
