Philosophy, and Approach

Each of us is a spiritual being having a human experience. This means that problems, trauma, and illness are an interesting way for us to get to know others and ourselves at a completely different level.

There are many things that you can learn by holding a cat by the tail that you cannot learn any other way. – author unknown

I help people learn to understand that there is much to gain from their current situations that can be valuable and can be added to the list of resources. My other purpose is to reduce the amount of suffering that people may have while learning these lessons. Everyone has “experiences”, in their lives, that have been identified or called by others as a “problem”. My number one goal is to get the person through their individual experience as quickly as possible so they can get back to doing what they want, living their lives.
