Personal Perspective
I have been married for over 25 years and I have two grown up children. These personal experiences continue to inform my understanding of long-term relationships, family life, and the ongoing work of staying connected through change. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy photography and spend a lot of time outdoors, climbing, hiking, skiing, or simply enjoying a cup of coffee while observing the world around me. That helps me to stay grounded and present.
