This site is a place I tell my story of surviving authentically. The uncharted waters of dark traumas, deep grief, tragic loss, and advanced stage cancer along with amazing moments, wonderful memories, and purposeful experiences…

This site is also a way to connect with me as a mental health provider. I am the owner of The Purposed Sailor, LLC, my private counseling and coaching practice where I help others process, discover, and explore their own uncharted waters.

Why “The Purposed Sailor” ?? Well, navigating the open, uncharted waters of life – the exhilarating adventures, the devastating storms, the looking-glass calm, the windfalls, and the groundswells – is a universal human experience. The waters themselves, though, those are our own. Therefore . . .

. . . a purposed sailor learns to adjust their sails.
