I am excited to add a new element to my practice! Soul Retrieval! Learn how to tap your intuition and your authentic self through the use of spiritual,not religious,tools. If you are suffering from past or present traumas,abuse, poor communication or just not feeling cherished, now is the time to seek help. I am able to serve you with solution based and spiritual counseling. I listen deeply with great intention as I work with individuals using techniques that are tailored for you and your situation. We will work toward new awareness for resolution and healing. My intention is to see the authenticity and ‘holy’ soul in everyone.
My desire is to help you to be the best human possible in your relationship with your true self and with others. I help you to heal from trauma, unfinished business and hurts from the past as well as to find solutions to all of life's challenges. My style is eclectic and designed exclusively to help you personally in your healing.
For many decades, I've worked with people to help people move through life issues that hold them back or rob them of joy in their lives. You will find me to have wisdom, be interactive, empathic and nurturing. I act as a guide to your personal healing. I am a highly seasoned therapist, non denominational Spiritual Director/Counselor., former Prison Chaplain
