Mission Statement: The essence of my commitment is to promote and share God's love.

One of my fundamental Christian convictions is that "God is Love." Thus, the way God loves is the model I aim to follow and advocate. This means loving everything God makes from the amazing "self-presence" we each exhibit to the stones we walk on, the earth we cultivate, the flowers we celebrate, and the fellow humans with whom we co-create God's family. Loving, I believe, involves profound respect for everything and everyone. I believe that respecting people includes respecting their freedom and ability to be responsible, and ultimately their birthright to choose life.

These basic beliefs guide me in my efforts to use the gifts and learnings I have to be helpful to people as they try to correct the troublesome errors inflicted on them (such as rejection, missunderstanding and humiliation). Technically, I use phenomenology as a guide, i.e. forming healing and curing actions to meet the needs experienced or more poetically; bringing light out of the darkness.

I am especially interested in the place anger has in life, in the correcting of low self esteem, in turning communication problems into growth opportunities, in walking with people seeking personally satisfying answers to fundamental questions such as "Who am I?" "Why am I?" "What is the point of time, confusion, slow learning, error and such aspects of real life?" The guiding goal behind each practical solution achieved is, for me, the promotion of God's love.
