My role as a counselor and coach is to hold space for you in an accepting and supportive ways. I help clients in Grand Rapids, MI and across the globe with life transitions.
My goal is to assist you in understanding what blocks your happiness and potential. Encouraging you to look deeper into yourself, to tell the truth about yourself to yourself and share this with another. I seek to assist you in finding clarity with your desires and intentions. I offer you tools that can more deeply connect you with your emotional and spiritual self, for it is in these parts of you that the wisdom and answers to your struggles come.
I’m a cheerleader, celebrating with you your accomplishments, supporting and challenging you to discover who you really are and your unlimited potential. As you understand what blocks your potential; If you choose, I would help you discover the spiritual meanings and higher perspective to your experiences. In this work, you realize how this relates to your soul journey while in human form. We are, after all, spiritual beings first and foremost, having experiences as a human being.
I work with many people who have one thing in common: they’ve reached a stuck point in their lives—and are ready and willing to do something about it.
They’re ready to commit to their own personal development and growth because they know they have the potential to be and do more in their world.
After 30 years of practice as a licensed therapist and now just a coach, I know that often the hardest part about a life transition comes from failing to understand the opportunity it offers. Yes, opportunity and growth come from our setbacks and difficult times.
That which you go into will free you. Light, meaning and growth always surrounds our darkness and struggles. Life transitions are often dreaded, yet if we trust, allow, and open ourselves up to possibilities; setbacks or problems can be a welcome challenge because they help us grow in depth and wisdom so we expand our capacity for deeper trust, authenticity, self-confidence and connection.
Changes I help Address to Awaken Your True Nature:
- Life and/or Relationship Changes: when passion declines, a loved one leaves or a job ends. Symptoms: conflicted expectations, loneliness, judgment and criticism, constant grief, confusion, anger, loss of identity.
- New Energy/New Cycle & Evolving Humanity: Are you noticing and impacted by the accelerated change Humanity and the Earth are currently going through? Old systems and ways of being and living are collapsing and new ones are forming. Currently the relentless and uncertain chaos and changes can cause changes in our attitude and responses related to the outer world.
- Symptoms: anger, discontent, desire to escape the status quo and avoid lies, or keep the status quo. A knowing and desire for life to be better, a hunger for being part of creative solutions toward a new and more loving humanity.
- I help people understand these new energies as one cycle ends and a new one begins. Individually and collectively old systems and ways are falling apart, requiring us all to embrace the new energies and new ways of being. I assist people with what these changes are all about and how to cope, adapt to, and thrive in these new and improved ways of being and living. To view these changes as the teacher and opportunity, not so much the threat or enemy.
- Soul Pulse: while invisible and intangible, this is an inner signal that it is time to step out of your comfort zone and grow, but you don’t know where or how. Any of the 4 transition triggers mentioned above are often connected to this soul pulse. Symptoms: dissatisfaction, insomnia, restlessness, unease, changes in job, relationship or income, etc.
