My Santa Fe practice focuses on the process of rethinking one's life as the second half unfolds, including issues of midlife crisis and approaching retirement or, if already retired, finding and fostering a sense of vitality and fulfillment to this most important, likely quite lengthy, and absolutely unique stage in the life cycle.
