Practical Approach to Transforming Your Life

Change and growth are often preceded by some difficulty, personally or in relationship. I congratulate your willingness to get support in overcoming the challenges you are facing.
✦No matter what you do you can’t change yesterday, but you CAN impact tomorrow
✦Focusing on the past has value when you reinterpret events in a way that empowers and supports you in the present
✦As you direct your energy to creating your future rather than dismantling the past, you will feel transformed, empowered and in touch with who you truly are under all the stories about what happened
Somebody asked Michelangelo how he sculpted the David from a huge block of marble. He said, “I saw the David and removed anything that was not that”.
My intention is to support you in removing whatever is in the way of where you want to go and in recognizing the truth of who you are and what you can become. We focus on:
✦what you want (outcome)
✦why you want it (purpose)
✦structure and support (pathway) and
✦making it happen (action).
It is a grounded, practical approach to transforming your life and living by design.


What is Spiritual Psychology

Michelangelo believed his sculptures were already in the block or stone he was carving, in the same way the human soul is found within the body we reside in. Spiritual Psychology is based on the understanding that our true essence is spiritual and that our body, mind and emotions are vehicles for spiritual expression. This essence is present in every moment and we have the opportunity to connect with and respond to its guidance.
In our work together, you will discover that difficulties and obstacles in life are often blessings for in reality we grow through adversity. This process of growth can be used to awaken your connection to your spiritual essence. In doing so energy is liberated which can be used to create a life which is rich and satisfying.
My intention is to assist you in reconnecting with your spiritual essence and living from genuine strength and authenticity and in doing so finding the resources within yourself, the source of true power, to transform your life.



Learning Paradigm

Spiritual Psychology is a positive psychology that utilizes a learning paradigm. A learning paradigm does not presume anything wrong with you - it simply presents things you can learn to make your life and work more easeful and productive.
✦Issues are seen as gifts for they offer an opportunity to reconnect with your essence, an occasion to expand, to learn and grow.
✦Adversities are recognized as teachers.
✦Life skills are taught to enable you to meet the challenges of life successfully.
Get support in taking action to create a more positive present and fulfilling future.
YOU are the
LIGHT at the End of the Tunnel!
Learn to relax into your authentic essence and let go of behavior patterns, limiting thoughts and feelings that no longer serve you. Focus on what you really want. Take action. Expand your capacity to Love and offer the world the Gift that you are.
