Counseling, Mentoring, Education. I work with people who recognize that they have been living out patterns of thoughts, beliefs and behaviors which no longer serve them or those they love. Over the past twenty-eight years, I have learned that no one consciously chooses to be in crisis, repeat unhealthy patterns of behavior or thought, be depressed, unhappy or disconnected from their authentic self. I have also learned that the key to changing our lives is to recognize, accept and work with those deep unconscious patterns which have ruled our lives. Whether dealing with trauma experienced in the past or in the present, changes in life circumstances, or transitions from one stage or life to another, the possibility for moving through life with more grace, freedom and ease is available to each person. Change and choice can occur with awareness, insight, action and the perseverance to stay with the task at hand. My role is to help you discern the patterns which hold you back, find ways to interrupt their hold on your life and help you align to a more positive and life enhancing pattern. I do so by holding a judgement free environment, using a variety of approaches, and listening closely to what your stories, dreams and images reveal about where you are now and what your future might look like. As a Certified Pattern Analyst, I look for the archetypal in the temporal, that is, how each life unfolds according to the universal patterns of humanity and how they express in each individual's life. As a minister, I am drawn to the soul's desire for wholeness and health. As an educator, I share the knowledge available in the wisdom traditions for personal growth.
