I hope you find inspiration here, as you discover the depth and fullness of your power and potential.

My goal is to help your mind open to know the power of the love within you. No matter where we are on this life journey, we never come to the limit of love's power in our lives. The more we use love, the more powerful it becomes in us. There is always opportunity to take one more step. Seeing life through the lens of love opens greater truth and meaning in all experiences.

While we can't change experiences of the past, we can increase our understanding, resolutions, and growth that come from challenging experiences. Challenges are opportunities to renew motivation and to transcend limiting perceptions. As we grow, we create more of love's power and life's full potential.

Perceptions create patterns of behavior. Loving perceptions bring power into our choices and actions. This powerful and active love creates the fullness and meaning for a joyful life.

I am honored to offer support, counseling, and guidance as we journey together in this unique and precious life.

This website is ever-evolving. I will continually add new pages and content within pages. Please visit as often as is supportive for you.

When you view this website, you are receiving the information passively. Counseling sessions help you more fully integrate wisdom into your personal life and your interactions with the world. The counseling process brings you beyond intellectual learning. Together we can discover the fullness of your wisdom. Everything that happens in your life brings an opportunity to discover more of this wisdom. Deeper meaning and broadened purpose to your life journey will manifest in your mind, your personal life, your relationships, and the world around you.

Loving wisdom that lies hidden in you can awaken to reveal a greater scope of vision and action. Life can become more peaceful and harmonious - whether you are experiencing peace and harmony now, or whether you are struggling to discover some peace and harmony.

Each life is both independent and interdependent with others. Healing (mental, emotional, spiritual, relational, physical) occurs when we understand and utilize the strengths of ourselves. Because we are both independent and interdependent, being our best selves requires understanding and caring for ourselves both personally and interpersonally.

Essential ingredients to the mental health of a person are BOTH the ability to acknowledge and care for the various parts of one's life, AND to acknowledge and care for one's connections with others. As with the physical body, when disconnection between parts occurs, some degree of health is limited. The more we learn about our true self, the more we can care for our mental and relational health.

Problems occur when we don't address unpleasant emotional experiences. Counseling can help you interpret the information your emotional pain is giving you. Using this information, counseling can help you discover your resources for transformation and healing. When the chemicals from emotional pain are not addressed, they can be stored in the body and cause physical problems.

Counseling helps you evolve the quality of your life - whether you are experiencing challenges, or whether you are seeking to further the Joy you are already experiencing, or BOTH!
