People can live their best lives despite life's challenges—a new diagnosis, chronic and/or life-limiting illness, major loss, or stressful life circumstances. For more than a decade, I have been making a difference in the lives of those who want to live healthier, more joyful lives in the aftermath of these kinds of challenging events. From my experience as an interfaith chaplain in all areas of health care (hospitals, rehab programs, primary care clinics, and hospice), I will help you to leverage your own natural wisdom and compassion as you process loss and envision change. From my training as a health coach, I will partner with you to gain the insights, knowledge, skills, tools, and confidence you need to reach your wellness goals in a holistic way. Because you are more than your body, I will meet you in the fullness of who you are, supporting and empowering you to explore multiple avenues of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
