As a genealogical psychologist, I help genealogists, mental health professionals, & family history clients navigate impacts of genealogical discoveries on personal life & family relationships. I also provide a variety of genealogical research services, such as existing research analysis, narrative family history writing/editing, pedigree research, presentations & workshops, coaching/training, genealogical writing, and limited on-site photography of both heirlooms and property. Other services may be provided upon request and after consultation.
