I am a psychologist with advanced training in neuropsychology, health psychology and general mind-body medicine. My work focuses on how we can use our mind to train our brain to better regulate our bodies and our lives. My recent book, Staying Sharp: 9 Keys to a Youthful Brain through Modern Science and Ageless Wisdom, promotes these principles as they relate to how we can cultivate a youthful brain and authentic life throughout the second half of our lives. I maintain a therapy practice in Minneapolis, MN but am actively involved in teaching and training as a speaker, workshop/retreat leader and trainer locally and nationally. I look forward to connecting with you through the MBN!

They are people who can take what life dishes out and respond in ways that make them, wiser, stronger, more compassionate and loving, and able to live life to the fullest no matter what.

WHY DIVERSITY MATTERS Diversity, it seems, is hardwired into Mother Nature's plans. The culture wars currently raging around acceptance of expressions of individual diversity in our culture would argue otherwise. Who's right?
