About
Pastoral counseling / spiritual direction --especially for people not currently (or ever) participating in a religious community. I offer a fresh, open, insightful, lively look at life, relationships, grief, worry, changes, responsibility, God, love, and the meaning of it all. Hospital visits in times of need, end-of-life chaplaincy, weddings, funerals, regular visitation at nursing homes, etc. Spiritual clarity, rather than "religion" within narrow confines, is the path to health, hope, joy, and peace. As the song says, "Faith can move mountains... but only love can give set us free, and only love can give us peace." Before going into parish ministry, I worked in a community mental health clinic, mostly with families and people with substance abuse problems. Along with spiritual approaches, I use the wide range of treatment approaches from those years, such as Jungian dream work, relationship clarifying, insight therapy, and many other practices. I offer memorial services and weddings suited to the wishes of the family, and can provide acoustic music (guitar, banjo, and vocal with PA system). I also offer a "checklist" to help organize the reception (if there is one). I am very adaptable as to styles, places, and times.
