About
Iam also the author of The Soul’s Intent andBig Tail – Small Kite, as well as thefounder of the Institute for Compassionate Living. In my extensive career as a traumapsychologist I discovered that when ego or personality was stripped away, mypatients had a unique opportunity to recover a truer and authentic self. Inmost cases, I observed them establish a relationship with soul, spirit, and egothat were aligned with their heart’s desire. I call this process mediating within or finding one’s place of compromise. The result for my patients was a moremeaningful life and choices that were purposeful and goal-oriented. In my twenty-five+years of working with severe trauma patients, I ultimately developed apsychospiritual understanding of that which divides us all: self-judgment. Ifound that those willing to explore and heal this division internally discovera broader and more compassionate view of the self. The result was forgivenessand a personal freedom to simply BE. Ipractice in West Virginia and consult nationally and internationally.

Story Behind The Book
In my career, I have been intimately involved with the recovery of six thousand severely disabled patients.
We call people who travel in outer space astronauts. It seems we have no name for those who have traveled through inner space. Philosophy and spiritual teachers call inner space ‘…the road less traveled.’ Ironically, it is the only road I know. Now that I have returned to the surface, it is my desire to share with the world the depth of my findings.
If I were returning from outer space, I could show you pictures of the rings of Saturn. Or, a picture of the blue marble we call earth standing on the moon. Most will never know that inner space is equally as beautiful, compelling, and mysterious. The answers it provides about love, suffering, happiness, purpose, why, are all profound! It is my passion to share with the world the clarity of these experiences through my writings and teachings.
