My undergraduate degree is from University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a major in Biology.
The Medical Degree was obtained from the University of Maryland in 1983. An opportunity to start training in psychiatry from the beginning of medical school through a special program called "Caps" offered the chance to begin treating patients with individual psychotherapy while being closely supervised by the Psychiatry faculty. This level of experience is unusual so early: it is usually only provided once medical school is finished and psychiatry residency begun. I was lucky to have both the small group of my fellow trainees and the skilled and compassionate supervisors in this intensive training so early; and lucky to be at a school where this program was developed.
I completed the 3 year Residency in Pediatrics at Sinai Hospital in Baltimore in 1986.
With return to the University of Maryland, my Child and Adolescent Fellowship and the Adult Psychiatry Residency were both finished in 1990.
Certification in Somatic Experiencing, based on the work of Peter Levine, Level II
