I am a recovering psychotherapist who has decades of experience in the field, including the use of hypnosis. I have extensive training in Ericksonian hypnosis and various other mind-body related treatment modalities. I love to spend time out of doors, and am an avid nature enthusiast who loves to hike, bike and sometimes just sit. I often bring a camera along. When not out of doors you can find me in the kitchen. A former restaurant owner and current amateur chef, I love to cook. I probably listen to jazz more than not but enjoy most kinds of music, especially live. I have been trying to learn guitar for way too long. It\\\\\\\'s something that I absolutely love and for which I have absolutely no talent. Don\\\\\\\'t ask me to play for you. I\\\\\\\'m active in my Mac User Group and teach a number of Mac, Photoshop and internet related classes. I\\\\\\\'m can often be found playing chess. To chill out I read mysteries, natural history, sci-fi and fantasy. I like picture books with great photos. Find out more at Mystic Cowboy
