HOW I HAVE PREPARED TO
Help You Enhance Your Spiritual Life
Psychology, neuroscience, and archeology all demonstrate that we humans are born with an inherent drive to connect with something bigger, more powerful than ourselves. Like many of you reading this, I have felt that strong sense of spiritual connection throughout my life. Even as a child, I sought to learn about myths and religions, both ancient and modern. As a young teenager experiencing a tumultuous home life, I was drawn into a conservative, demanding spiritual tradition that provided me with a caring community and an important anchor.
That community and belief system saved my life as a young person, but after two decades of active involvement, I became conscious that it no longer aligned with who I was as an adult. I left that tradition to begin a new journey of truly discovering my authentic self. Maybe you have had a similar experience? I explored diverse spiritual possibilities, taking time to purge old thought patterns before I was truly ready to re-engage my relationship with the Divine, realizing that my spiritual gifts were inherent within me, not dependent on any outside authority. A series of synchronicities led me to wonderful teachers who spent several years training me in shamanic practices, teaching me to connect more deeply with spiritual forces and help others bring about their own healing. Drawing from multiple sources, I have developed my own sense of spirituality that is supportive and fulfilling, while remaining excited about further evolution. Now I can help you to do the same, in a way that works for you.
I welcome the many manifestations of the Divine as it appears throughout the world’s spiritual traditions and especially as it appears uniquely within each of my clients. The experience of encountering that sacred part of you and helping you to enjoy it more fully is my greatest privilege.

While rediscovering my own spiritual path, I had a profound experience in which I perceived generations of ancestors who went before me. They invited me to join them as they danced in celebration around a large bonfire. I was eager to do so, but found that I couldn’t seem to learn their steps. In my confusion and frustration, one of them stopped me, and said “No, dance your own dance!” That experience helped to shape my own spirituality, and inspired me to help people like you in the journey to dance your own spiritual dance. In order to be of greater service to others, I pursued a master’s degree in Spiritual Guidance. That work inspired me to earn a PhD in Depth Psychology with emphasis in Jungian and Archetypal Studies, preparing me to work with clients’ dreams, personal mythologies, and experiences. Supported by my education and training, my approach to spirituality has embraced both intuition and study, allowing me to stand with you, having one foot in the mystical and one foot in the practical. That means you can explore safely, knowing that you have a trustworthy companion on your journey.
