I'm a Clinical Psychologist who has worked with traumatized people for 30 years. While the reality of what happens to people is heart-wrenching, the ability of people to survive and heal is inspirational. I've learned as much from my clients as I hope they've learned from me. In my personal life, I read just about everything, walk here at home and anywhere else in the world that I have the chance to visit, and dance.
