I'll  tell you a little about my self. I have studied and trained in many specialties including: Cellular Release Therapy, Alchemical Hypnotherapy, Group Hypnosis, Electronic Hypnosis, Shamanism, Sacred Psychology, Mythology, Spiritual Ministry Metaphysics and more. I started practicing hypnosis at the age of 12, and have been a lifelong student and practitioner in this amazing field. My early experimentation’s into the power of the mind led me to pursue a degree in psychology. I feel fortunate it only took me four years of under graduate study to realize  that modern western psychology didn't match  my real life experiences nor did mainstream psychotherapy actually accomplish what it claimed to do. The disparity between my first hand knowledge, and the textbook ideas being presented persuaded me to follow my own path. I believe each of us is a powerful expression of a unique gift to the universe. Only by waking up to who we really are can we discover the bliss of all we are meant to be. We are spiritual beings  immersed in a physical experience.

   Humans are emotional beings with an overlay of logic and reason

To change our lives we must first change our beliefs.

 My life's  journey has led me on many interesting paths, including careers creating and operating a Computer Consulting Company, Park Ranger, U. S. Marine Corps, Peace Officer, Over the Road Truck Driver, Operating Engineer, Group Home Parent for at risk teens, Big Brother in the Big Brother/Big Sister Program,  Christian Ministry, I created and operated a Motorcycle Tour Company, and have taught on a variety of subjects. I am recently retired from President of The Colorado Association of Psychotherapists. I had a private psychotherapy practice in Lakewood for over twenty years. Recently, as part of my ongoing growth and awakening, I relocated to the new Isis Healing Oasis Building. (see links page)

    My spiritual life began in early childhood with the Lutheran Church down on the corner. I formed and led bible study groups beginning at the age of twelve, and continued that rather traditional Christian life until I moved to Japan in the early sixties. Soon after arriving there I wandered onto the grounds of a Zen Buddhist Monastery and School. As soon as I walked beneath the tall Torii  Gate Arch I experienced the most  profound sense of peace in my life. It was as if I had come home. Immediately the comfortable box I had been living in and wasn't even aware of blew apart, leaving me open for unlimited growth opportunities.

 I  not only studied Zen Buddhism, but the traditional indigenous Ainu Peoples  spirituality of Shinto. These studies opened the doors to the infinite possibilities of spiritual growth and expression. I've immersed myself in every philosophy, spirituality, and religion I can. I've explored and practiced several types of yoga. As well as involving myself in the spiritual and physical aspects of several martial  arts, including Kung Fu, and Akido.      I've found the work of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell most helpful in understanding how to bring the conscious and subconscious minds into balance and harmony with each  other. By creating this accord deep within we can rise to our highest potential, and live in that heavenly state, a life without fear and without desire. 

 This is the brighter side of my journey. The other side is a little darker. That path led through a physically, and emotionally abusive childhood, addictions, and other powerful growth opportunities.  

    My journey continues to surprise, enlighten, and challenge me. Each day is a precious gift meant to be experienced to its fullest. 

 I know now, that each day is the best possible day in the best of all possible worlds, and I am a joyful participant in each and every moment. 

    My goal is finding creative ways to help people grow, learn, and heal themselves. It is your journey, only you can live it. I'm here to help you find your way.

 Joy, Peace, Freedom, and Love is life's natural state. Only by waking up to who, and where you are now, can you find the way to who you were always meant to be. And create the best life possible.
