My passion is both witnessing and assisting people who are walking through tough times, situations, emotions, and facing decision points using Positive Psychology coaching skills, chaplaincy, mindfulness practices and personal experience. I've been there - I know the terrain from both personal experience and from being a chaplain with long-term, memory care and end of life residents at a care center. I've also come out on the other side - not around, but right through the darkness of addiction, affected family member issues, divorce and loss of a child - and I know we humans have both the capacity and the courage to make this journey. And sometimes we need support to do this. The strange thing is that there are gifts to be had on the other side of difficulty that come only from facing the issue squarely and being willing to encounter the difficult emotions in the service of gaining the wisdom, compassion and forgiveness that live beyond the pain. Mission: To draw from expertise in positive psychology and personal experience to provide compassionate guidance that empowers individuals to heal from grief, trauma, and addiction allowing the rediscovery of their authentic joy and serenity. Vision: I aim to create a safe space for individuals to confront their pain, learn healthy coping skills and reclaim their innate wholeness. Values: - I believe in the fundamental goodness of each human being. - I honor each person's unique journey with non-judgmental presence. - I trust that healing arises by openly, honestly and compassionately acknowledging our wounds. Pledge: I pledge to hold a vision of your core strengths and resilience. With empathy and care I will illuminate pathways toward healing those wounds that have hindered your full flourishing. I will support you as the layers of grief, trauma and addiction are uncovered and walk with you to the homecoming you've always deserved.
