Frequently Asked Questions

Can you help me cope with stress, anxiety, and depression when this is all I know? What if I am afraid to try anything new?

What you are experiencing are messages that can be useful signals. Like “wake up” calls, they remind you that your thoughts, feelings and actions in connection with the people and situations in your life need to change if you want different results.

When you believe you are too old to change, too set in your ways, or that transformation is not possible, I encourage you to consider new and beneficial options available to you.  If you trust in yourself and remember your strengths, gifts and successes you will trust in our work together.

How can you help me with my interest in the spiritual? … with a universal power, a source?

I am honored to explore and guide those practices that help you in your relationship with the spiritual, as you define that for yourself. You will have ample opportunity to describe how your experiences are helpful for the present and upcoming years.

Some people are more comfortable following the doctrine and ritual of their specific religion. Others prefer to practice universal principles for healthy living in a non-religious manner. I support all on their meaningful journey.

How can a spiritual approach to my problems give me practical solutions, ways of coping with the changes in my life?

Knowing your inner soul, your Wisdom, as a personal and embodied experience of the Universal Spirit (or the name you give to this presence) can be directly observed, encountered and enjoyed.

My approach helps to increase your awareness of spirituality as a healing resource and to use it in ways that bring desired effects for your health and wellbeing – in your relationships, and as you contribute and participate in your world. A practical TIP – Transformation Is Possible!
