About

I come along side people when their life journey has taken a detour due to acute, chronic, critical and /or life changing events. They are often individuals from various backgrounds, religious and spiritual traditions. I make a contribution to their life and to the world by sitting with them and offering gifts of attentive listening, empathy, encouragement and support. I remind them to embrace core personal beliefs and spiritual practices that instruct and sustain. I assist them in rediscovering a sense of resilience and self loving actions.
