Tradition: I am an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church. My spiritual spheres include: Christianity, Interfaith, Inter-spiritual, Spiritual but Not Religious, and Spiritual Independent.

Certification: Spiritual Guidance Training Program at Siena Retreat Center in

Racine, Wisconsin.

Experience: Ordained minister in the United Methodist Church for more than

40 years. I served over 30 years as Chief of Chaplain Service at the St. Louis

Veteran's Administration (VA) Medical Center working with veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), moral injury, mental health issues and addiction. My focus areas include: addiction, alcoholism, codependency, couples/families, divorced/widowed, elderly/mature, grief and loss, healthcare, mental health/depression.

Reflection: My mission is to offer to walk with individuals, open to the Spirit, listening with my heart, discerning with my mind, raising their awareness of how the Sacred is manifested in their lives and how they may choose to respond.
