My true spiritual quest began at the age of seven when my mother shared the “secret’ that I was adopted. All of the big questions that might have arrived later in life came upon me in a flash, Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here?  Life made more sense to me now, for I was already aware that ‘one of these things is not like the others’ long before the secret was revealed.

From that moment forward I became the Observer, searching to find out what made people become doctors, astronauts, nurses, the president of the United States. Was it genetics, family, friends, religion, education or environment? Fascinated by human behavior, curious about tiny details that may go unnoticed, even by the person being viewed themselves, I was able to understand their reactions or responses to events in their lives. I would search to discover the cause and effect through books, teachers and therapists. In order to know myself, I needed to learn from those who already knew their parents, family, and history, for I was born in the house of mystery.

I always felt that if my family had been Catholic I would have become a nun. My connection to the divine ran deep and true. My family dynamics led me to find shelter in my faith where I belonged to a higher order of protection and familiarity while seeking to find the answers to my questions through historic teachers of many faiths. Like stones across a mighty river I found my footing each step of the way. One path would lead to the next and then the next as my compassion and empathy grew, fear and doubt slipped away.

I believe that You are the healer. I function as the messenger, a conduit, for information to be passed on to you through words, pictures, and guidance. How this happens is a mystery to me and yet this gift has been with me since I was a child. In the beginning there was much disbelief as to the things I would share with others. Even when things would come to pass it was dismissed as coincidence. Believing that everyone thought the same way I did became a revelation when others did not embrace this for themselves. I knew I was not the exception, just someone who paid attention and listened closely to the messages shared.

The healing of old wounds that were brought about by shame or regret is available for each individual who is hurting. For within the energy that makes up each individual, balance aligns with the possibility of restoration. Each of us is the co-creator of our own world, universe, all the ups and downs, and ins and outs. By listening and paying attention to what is truly being expressed in the thoughts and words, clients are able to release the old, the unproductive and move into a renewed state of being.  I was called to be of service to others through a loving heart. Having embraced the “calling”, I now focus on specific areas within spiritual counseling where I can passionately apply the knowledge and wisdom of my own experience to assist others.

End of life counseling and change of life counseling are the major issues that are addressed within my work. This can encompass working with a person who is near the end of life or their family members; someone with a terminal or life threatening disease; mid-life confusion or finding a sense of purpose; childhood wounds that resurface as patterns of  illusion or confusion. Keys and tools are often gifts brought through to be shared during the sessions. They are very specific as to each individual. Once applied and practiced the possibilities are endless as to transformation and joy that can fill these now cleared spaces of self. I am honored to offer this reflection through my service to all on their personal journey to self awareness. The road may appear long and winding, yet each of us does not have to travel it alone.
