I am a clinical psychologist with a psychotherapy practice in Northside, Cincinnati, Ohio. I am also an author who writes about a philosophy of life that emphasizes, practical decision-making and behavior, understanding, the uncertainty of knowing, creative self-expression, and clarity regarding the purpose of one's life. I regularly teach classes and give presentations about mindfulness practice and the art of living. (As an aside, I am also a dance teacher, a designer, and a furniture maker. That may not sound relevant to my work as a psychologist, but it is. That is why, for example, I call my books The Art of Living — I think of living also as an art!)
