I was born in the Midwest; now I live in western Massachusetts but I am still a closet Midwesterner. I went to college to be a professional musician, and now I am a professional psychologist but I still write and perform music all the time. I somehow manage to integrate my love of raunchy pop and sacred music; I have learned to live with the contradictions involved in embracing psychoanalytic psychology and Calvinist theology. It is not for nothing that I teach my students about the great value of the serpentine life path.
I currently maintain a private practice in adult and child psychotherapy in Lenox, MA, and teach psychology at Bennington College in Vermont. I have written two books about children in contemporary culture, and several short stories, a novel, numerous musical arrangements and a couple of operas.
