I bring over forty years of work experience, education, life exploration, spiritual practices and personal inquiry to a professional practice rooted foremost in respect, compassionate presence and empowerment. Over six decades of this life have supported my own journey, and instilled a deep honoring and humble acknowledgement for the resiliency and healing power available within each human spirit.

Since very young, I have been fascinated by the wealth of perceptions and possibilities available to our human consciousness. I find these potentials exciting. For it means an invitation is always extended to expand our identity, relationships and awareness; to experience and become much more than we might have accepted or believe we are.

Resources, wisdom, skills, creativity and hope are closer than we might imagine. The invitation to begin anew, sits in that space between each breath, each dream, each awakening.

My aspiration: May compassionate awareness, support my ability to be of wise service to each life; and may my actions nourish harmony and healing for the web of life that holds us all.

“SpiritWell” speaks to that state of Wholeness and Spaciousness which is our true nature; the Well from which we draw wisdom and nourishment for ourselves; and the Cup from which we offer compassionate action to others.

I offer Psychotherapy,Counseling and Hypnotherapy from a Transpersonal and Integrative Perspective. Practical skills, Mindfulness, and other strategies support insight, clarify choice and encourage action. Respect and gentle challenge honors and nurtures each individual’s alignment with their own sources of authentic wisdom. Spirit Path Medicines empower the personal life journey and foster awareness and harmony with the whole. Clients often remark that they feel safe in my presence and discover they are able to articulate what is held most hidden.

My background includes degrees in Counseling Psychology, Interdisciplinary Religious Studies, Clinical Pastoral Education (Interfaith Chaplaincy), and personal studies with elders of many traditions including: Buddhist, Hindu, Sufi, Native American, Contemplative Christian, Celtic, and Hawai’ian. I have counseled in public, and non-profit mental health agencies; presented on various topics in public and private schools; offered community education, staff presentations and services to hospice, university staff and non-profits. I support individuals along a continuum of ‘mental wellness’ and counsel those profoundly called to create and live their life with greater equanimity, integrity and joy.
