I’ve been dealing with some health issues over the past six weeks. I’ve become quite friendly with my internist as I’ve seen him three times in a month. Each time he has been respectful, inquisitive, and proactive. We’ve discussed treatment options and altered the medication I’m taking to resolve the issue. At this last appointment [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!! Growing up my father worked at a company whose offices faced 7th Avenue in New York, along the parade route. The families of the employees would come and watch the parade from the warmth of the offices. It was amazing to see the big balloons pass by, almost scary because of their enormity. [...]

I’m very fortunate that over the past few years since I returned to school I have met some incredible people. These individuals are not only smart (a given), but they are kind, growth oriented, and grounded in their place in the world. I’m friends with many of them on Facebook and fortunate that they pass [...]

I’ve worked with many clients over the years who are on a spiritual journey. The catalyst for this journey is usually some pivotal life experience that was in the words of St. John of the Cross, a “dark night of the soul”. Amazing how until we’re faced with a fork in the road or held out gun [...]
