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.
