“I was born in Stuttgart, southern Germany, a year before Hitler came to power. Late in l960 I immigrated to the US, studied and taught at UCLA while obtaining my MA in literature, and protesting the war in Vietnam. In l971 I moved to New York where I took graduate classes at Columbia University in psychology, sociology and anthropology. This study prepared me start a practice as the first family mediator in Marin County, CA, in 1979. Since l992 I have been living in the North Berkeley Hills. Clients come through referral and I enjoy my work to help resolve conflicts through collaboration, while being politically active to abolish war.”
