Welcome! 

What's this human’s life like? Just like yours: too much to handle gracefully. Here you’ll find writing on the epic theme: What now? I post weekly-ish. Except when I don’t. 

I’m a rural psychiatrist in private practice with my husband (also a psychiatrist) north of the Adirondack Park in upstate New York. (No, we don’t analyze each other. We’re not that mature.)  Our Son has grown up and moved to a major metropolitan area.

When not practicing my profession (Will I ever get it right?), I read. Way too long, way too late, in bed, most nights. ("So many books. So little time." Frank Zappa). Then there’s the farm run, cooking, loving up my friends and family, and writing for Psychotherapy Networker. I could sleep more, but... will I?

What’s a shrink’s life and work is really like? Practice, Practice, Practice: This Psychiatrist's Life answers those questions with a light touch. I talk about it here. Buy it on Amazon or Barnes&Noble.
