Through her private counseling practice and Spiritual Direction practice she has spent more than two decades listening to personal stories and helping people to see the movement of God in their lives and to grow towards emotional and spiritual integration and wholeness, as well as to work towards God’s larger dream of union and communion for humankind, of which we may all take part.
