My interest in healing began in 1988 when I studied a wide range of
mind-body healing practices like Transpersonal Psychology, Buddhism, A Course in Miracles, Shamanism,
Modern Physics, Meditation, Tantra,
Native American Studies, Taoism, and Intuitive Arts. I am influenced by the works of: Carlos Castaneda, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Don Miguel Ruiz,
The Dalai Lama, Louise Hay, John Gray Caroline Myss, and Marianne Williamson. I
now draw on all of them in my work.
I feel fortunate about the ability I have been given to help others
through my unique and effective form of
counseling. My main goal is to help you in any way that I
can. I work with you to identify, release, and replace old emotional neural
connections and find new paths in your growth, mentally and emotionally,
teaching you how to do this for yourself at the same time. Happiness and
contentment is the natural state of being for all human beings and I want it to
be yours.
Background
My life has been spent searching for meaning and trying to understand my relationship with higher energies, God and
myself, my behaviors, and interactions with others. I was fascinated with questions of why we are here,
what really matters, and how to be an arbiter of truth. My own self-realizations
come in a series of deep insights. Long ago I began to see people for who they really
were, and not for the faces that were presented to me.
My
studies include Counseling training at the Clearmind Institute, Personal Growth
Studies at the Shambala Society, Group Therapy intensive training, B.A. at the
University
of Massachusetts, Certificate of Computer Science at British Columbia Institute
of Technology, and extensive
training in Linguistic Internet Communications Technologies.
I started to share my knowledge and innate wisdom and began to counsel
and skillfully teach others how to understand themselves and grow from each and
every experience. This led to the creation of OnlineCounseling.org in May
2000. My work today is non-denominational and openly respectful regardless of
any system of beliefs. I align with my clients and relate to their issues
and mental blocks because I have been there too.
As a Client
When you contact me for help, you
are asked a series of questions. The purpose of these questions is not just to
get your personal input, but for me to be able to read the situation “between
the lines” to get a clearer picture. How you answer reveals how the mind
works, showing the patterns of thinking and automated behaviors that are causing
problems. With this subconscious information, I am able to provide accurate
and insightful observations and create strategies for change and solutions that
are unique to you and your situation.
I blend psychological understanding, using concrete
tools, with spiritual and intuitive wisdom, using metaphysical
principles to help you create positive changes. I
encourage and motivate you, helping
you free limiting patterns and enhance self-esteem. I guide you through
confusion, fear and doubt so you can see the truth of what is happening,
providing innovative and unique guidance and solutions.
I
help clients from all over the
world, helping them grow emotionally and spiritually. We all feel
lost, uncertain, scattered, and even frightened at times. We talk to friends,
family, clergy or even strangers, yet no one seems to have a real answer. I can help you solve whatever is hindering your growth or burdening your spirit.
Your results
We often repeat the same mistakes
because it is familiar to us: we've been there so many times. I
aid you in finding new choices that you didn’t even know you had with a
series of interactive discussions and exercises. You
get tools and suggestions to break patterns of behavior and move forward with
your issues in a supportive, nurturing, and safe environment. Your
success depends largely on your honesty, desire for change, and the willingness
to be open to suggestions. You'll go to a new level of self honesty. I will
clearly identify the changes you want to
make and support you through that process.
You will need to trust the direction in which I guide you tol best
deal with various problems. Each problem, even when revisited, is unique and
will be dealt with accordingly. You will need to be open-minded and not reject
something simply because you're unfamiliar with it or because you judge it
before you try it. We too often turn away from what we don't understand instead
of taking the time to ask questions, assuming we know what it means. Frequently,
the things we reject or judge can often be the very things which will make the
difference.
You have free will and it is your choice to follow or disregard the
information you get. By stepping outside
the old beliefs and patterns handed down to you, you can create a new future for
yourself that is practically conceived and spiritually based. The
solutions and answers to your situation lies within you. With help you can reach
inside and find the way through to the other side.
