Get to know me
Welcome! I am a clinical psychologist, who has spent most of my career helping people dealing with challenges in their lives. Feelings are the currency of my trade. I see photography as the visual expression of this. Many of the images you will find are from the great outdoors. Nature has a profound effect on mood and wellbeing. The more time you can spend outdoors and unplugged, the better. However, that is not always easily accessible. So, I offer the option of bringing peaceful images into your living space. Embrace your home as a sanctuary, a haven in which you can soothe yourself, recharge your batteries, socialize, or have alone time. This is also a way to enhance your workspace and feel better in it. I have always loved photography. In my art, as in my life, I always try to find the beauty in things, especially ordinary things. I have been called a “New Age Freak” more than once, (Luckily, it was by the same person both times!) In recent years, I have developed a love for gemstones and crystals. They not only add beautiful pieces of nature indoors, but also have energetic and healing properties, which can change the feeling of a place. I hope you enjoy my website as much as I enjoy creating and offering my work to you. And, ask yourself “How does this make me feel?”
