Have you wondered about your life’s purpose for your next chapter, but don’t know where to begin?
You are not alone.
Each person’s journey is unique with twists and turns that can be hard to navigate on our own.

Meet Linda
Let me introduce myself.
For over 30 years, I’ve helped individuals and organizations move through transitions and into their next chapters.
In my first professional role, as a licensed mental health therapist, I worked with youth and adults grappling with how to moving forward in life. Some were teen moms, others were at-risk youth and still others college students of all ages preparing for their careers. Many of the people I accompanied had experienced trauma. They had survived, emotional, sexual or and/or physical abuse and were wondering how to move forward - beyond the pain and constant seeking of safety or approval from others. They wanted support becoming the person they could not yet imagine, but longed for.
Over time, my career went through many twists and turns as I moved into administrative roles as I climbed the corporate ladder eventually becoming a social researcher for a national organization. Then…
Eight years ago, I had a stroke. As I began my long journey of rehabilitation, I wondered when I would “get back” to who I had been. After some time, I realized that our journey only goes forward. There is no “getting back”.
At first that was an ugly realization. My job had been a key part of my identity. But the years of rehabilitation were not only occupational and physical, they were also spiritual. Eventually, I understood that it was time for me to stop looking backward and start moving on - into my own next chapter. I began by taking a fresh look at what gave me joy and returned to my roots - working one-to-one and in small groups. So, I became an ordained Minister of Word and Service and a certified Spiritual Director.
There is nothing like a traumatic event to help you reconsider your life and take a fresh approach. My new path was not an easy one, but it is quite freeing and life giving.
Now I love to accompany others on their own journeys. While every journey is unique, there are common experiences along the way and wisdom to be passed along from one sojourner to another.
I look forward to joining you as you deepen your spiritual health and evolve into your next chapter.
