Are you looking for a compassionate ear? Someone with an inexhaustible belief in the human spirit's ability to heal? Then, I'm your huckleberry.

I am a middle-aged, punk rock contemplative with the ability to connect with just about anyone. I believe that all of us are able to awaken our truest and healthiest self. I believe that the path towards our truest and healthiest self is diverse and fluid. I believe that life is an opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and suffer well as we venture towards our truest and healthiest self.
