I have worked for many years as a psychotherapist, specializing in chronic physical illness and disability, helping my clients learn that they are more than their illness and that grief and regeneration are a necessary part of their lives. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1981. Having entered the culture of illness, I have been unable to remain immune to that world.

I am now in service as a lay minister at First Parish in Concord, MA, a Unitarian Universalist congregation, where I continue to assist others to navigate the vicissitudes of life, aging, illness, and death. Additionally, at First Parish, I work with others to confront racial inequity and other social marginalizations through reading, discussion, experiential learning, and political action. |

Last, but not least, I live at New View Cohousing in Acton, Massachusetts with my husband and our cats. With 23 other families, we have created a world where community bonds and spontaneous interactions sustain us |
