About Me:

Sixty-five, psychologist, coach with specialty in I'm fascinated by the fact that a relationship has a life and heart and mind of its own. People can be furious with other and yet love the relationship. And so I study how partner must and will wrestle with their relationship and why that’s good. There is The Good Fight and The Bad Fight. You can't avoid the struggle but you can choose which kind you prefer. It's a spiritual exercise.

Fave things / hobbies:

I'm a social dancer and been one all my life. For the last 15 years it's been Tango. Before that, swing. Love the dance, love the music. I'm a serious amateur musician and guitarist also.

Fave people:

These days, Barack Obama. On a personal level, my partner. Then, of course, my kids and grandkids. I also have a group of men with whom I get together to talk about Life. Doing that for 20 years, too.

Fave books:

It seems to change. I like Robert Bly's books, and James Hillman's, and Steven Pinker's. I enjoy stories but too many authors to name. I always read The New Yorker.

Fave music:

Tango music these days. It's as interesting as the great American song book. Nowaways it's called "easy listening," which is a bit of an insult, I think. I like classical music, too.

Fave TV:

Don't watch much. Enjoyed Sex and the City, Big Love.

Dating at Midlife is a niche I created.

How I can help you:

My sense of how to help comes from my conviction about how relationships work. My clients and I create a relationship and that relationship is a wise conversation. I bring all my experience and expertise, the person I work with brings his or her immediate live experience and the specific details, the on the ground knowledge of any particular relationship. Together we make common sense of what's going on. We also develop a Feeling for the Relationship, a sense of how it works and what it wants and why the two partners resist it and why they love it. Creating wisdom is what we do.
