About Caroline

From the start of my training, I was shaped by the conviction that psychoanalytic work must be grounded in listening — deeply, sensitively, and with openness to the cultural and personal stories that shape each individual. This conviction has guided me through intersecting paths as a child and adult psychiatrist, child and adult psychoanalyst, and organizational leader.  My career has always sought to bridge individual treatment with broader community and societal contexts.  Whether leading national associations, editing Echoes of Childhood, directing an institute, or developing humanitarian projects in times of crisis, I have sought to build communities that foster resilience and inclusivity. These experiences now lead me to seek the president-elect of APsA, where I will bring this listening stance to shaping our collective future. 

Physician-psychoanalyst and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University School of Medicine with over three decades of clinical experience, I work with children and adults online and in my Bethesda, Maryland office.
