In my own life, healing and learning have come about in unconventional ways, and my professional background has been shaped more by personal experience than by any intentional career path. I’ve gotten a good education, and I’ve held a few responsible jobs in the field of spiritual care, but most of what I have to offer others comes through me because of what I’ve gone through myself. My own life-changing illnesses and losses, for example, have detoured or blocked some academic and career paths, but opened up profound possibilities for approaching spiritual care work (and all of life) in new ways.
I believe that the encounter between client and practitioner is primarily an encounter between two human beings. Beyond what I do and say to guide and support my clients, what’s most important in my work is my wholehearted presence. It’s always my deepest intention to bring kindness and respect to every part of every person I work with.
