The Author

About Author

I have enjoyed several careers, including 18 years in religious ministry and 20 years in the practice of psychotherapy, public speaking on stress/​emotional health, and writing.

My doctorate (S.Th.D) is in pastoral psychology.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio; schooled in Washington, Baltimore, and Berkeley; I lived and worked many years in Idaho -- with a three-and-a-half-year period in Cali, Colombia. I currently live, with my partner Robert, in Kensington, California and Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley (part of the Graduate Theological Union -- GTU) lists me as an adjunct professor. I am a member of the Board of Directors of GroundSpark (Click Blog/​Speaking/​Etc above and look for link to GroundSpark and "Respect for All Project" in left column.)

I like to hear from readers and site visitors ... with ideas, suggestions, or experiences. E-mail me by clicking on the e-mail link at the bottom of the column to the right.
