I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Chicago. I have been in private practice for over 30 years. I have had a long history of interest in meditation and have integrated mindfulness into my clinical work. In 2017 I completed a two year program at the Living School, Albuquerque, New Mexico on the Western Tradition of contemplation and meditation. In 2018 I completed the Compassion Cultivation Training at the Compassion Institute. I teach CCT to church communities, law enforcement personnel, and first responders. I recently completed teaching CCT at the Chicago office of the FBI. I will soon be teaching CCT at the Federal Court, Chicago Fire Department, and Chicago Police Department.
