I have been a practicing Mental Heath Therapist since the 1980s and meditation teacher since 1973. My therapy practice involved working in schools, youth service agencies,, community mental health clinics, drug and alcohol treatment centers and private practice.

Initially I was providing individual, couple and family therapy using conventional therapy. Some motivated individuals experienced positive results but many appeared to need something else for change to occur.

I realized what this second group had in common was a lot of stress in their lives which they held in their bodies. They needed to release their pent-up stress and feelings of anxiety, fear, anger or depression before they could make the changes needed to have a clear positive experience of life.

Chinese Medicine offers a similar theory about the body's life energy pathways becoming blocked by emotional stress and the removal of it producing balance and strength in mind and body.

I started out using the popular healing energies such as Reiki, Joerei, and Pranic Healing, to remove the emotional blocks but found that they each worked well in addressing certain emotional problems but poorly with others.

I eventually discovered that the universe contains an infinite amount of healing energies and, through years of meditation and Wilderness Experiences, learned how to attune myself to them.

Having many more energies on tap I found I could work with the innate intelligence present in the person to pick the most efficient energies to use to heal the individual's unique mental/emotional imbalance. This produced a very powerful and client-centered method of creating a healing change by removing the main block to mental and emotional health – stress..

I see clients in several ways. I work with clients as their primary professional counselor and/or healer. Psychiatrists and psychotherapists also refer their clients to me for brief energy healing sessions to get them past a therapeutic impasse. After the energy healing they are able to resume their original therapy sessions with their primary therapist with greater results.

I also have been successful healing pets physically as well as cleaning the negative energy from homes or businesses. This energy cleaning has helped to attract more sales for both retailers and for realtors. An energetically clean home has a positive feel that attracts buyers.
