More about me

Seems like there are new things to learn about myself, others, and the world every day.

I have a winding life path with many interesting jobs and life experiences that led to my current career, which is as a licensed psychologist.  Believe it or not, I started as a Forestry major because I wanted to be a park ranger!

Not a "one-trick pony," I also enjoy music and sing soprano in my local church choir.  In the past I was a member of Sweet Adelines.  I play guitar (although not too well, but I am learning).

I am blessed with a number of wonderful friends.  Their love and generosity of spirit provide the color and texture to my life. I am not married.  I am softening my position on love and relationships, much to the relief of my friends and family.
