For the past year I have been spending my afternoons writing a series of essays for the Empath who wants to improve her life and her relationships.  Naturally, this is a huge topic, and I find myself with many personal and client stories to report.  Here are a few of the essay topics to be included in the book.  If you have a topic or a question that you'd like to see answered, please don't hesitate to email me.

Thanks so much!
