It is my firm belief that the ordinary and extraordinary conditions and challenges of life can best be met by coming to understand that all true need contains a spiritual component. And while not every solution is spiritual, everything that is spiritual is solution-oriented. Through the embrace of such radical notions as these, and by being willing to move into the emotional work that makes way for healing, we cannot help but become responders to life rather than reactors. When we find ourselves in reaction, we are often coming to the current situation or circumstance from our unexamined past (re-acting). However, when we are responding, a sister word to the word "responsibility" (an ability to respond), we are able to be fully in the present. And the present is where all solutions - and all spiritual power - reside.
 

My role is to partner you in your healing and to facilitate your movement toward that goal. I do this by listening to your story with compassion and understanding; offering ways of seeing that broaden your view and allow you to create a larger story - a "story big enough to live in;" teaching that enables deeper, more compassionate connection with self, others, and with the God of your understanding; facilitating the critical component of emotional release; encouragement of daily practice/application of new ways of being.

I also encourage the use of various tools in this work, not asking anything of you that I have not asked of myself during my own healing journey.

I have special interests in systems theory, quantum physics, and the philosophical foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine, with a particular fondness for the latter, as knowledge of the Five Elements and their application to concerns/problems - long-standing or newly risen - allows one to begin trusting the movement of Life and all that it brings, essential for the work of healing.

Systems theory has as its foundation the principle that life and one's experience of life does not happen in a vacuum; rather, every action, thought, experience impacts something/everything else. Systems theory could be said to have its roots in the quantum realm of science, which encourages and excites me because it enables a blending of both therapeutic intervention, spirituality, and science in ways not conceived of before the last century, ways that are rooted in the very real and indisputable interconnection / interbeingness of All That Is.

I believe that my approach of blending the best of Eastern and Western teachings and practices in an intentionally healing setting provides the depth needed to permit transformational growth and enable the movement from a focus on wounds to the intrinsic balance of wholeness. It is this already present, yet occluded, wholeness that is Authentic Self.
