About
After serving for 30 years as a clergyman in a variety of churches, Dr. Peter has chosen a more progressive interfaith approach for his coaching and counseling... Previous to the ministry, he taught social sciences and was a psychotherapist, but since ministry, He no longer offers psychotherapy or mental health services in any clinical way. Instead, Peter provides any prospective client with spiritual guidance gleaned from his years as a spiritual dirctor and as a minister/priest. (PhD in Theology and Spirituality) Peter offers soul coaching using the person's spiritual and/or religious beliefs as a guideline tht assists the individual/couple/group to find their own best answers towards healing and wholeness, forgiveness, and a deeper understanding of one's own spiritual identity. He will use a variety of metaphysical theories and practices that would include meditation, astrology, hoistic health and wisdom studies from many spiritual paths.

I also have a Linked In and an Alignable profiles that also offer an overview of his approach to helping others...
I am inspired when I am able to offer guidance that fosters growth and change in a person who is seeking a new direction for their life, greater purpose or meaning, or who is in need of healing, solace, and encouragement for all the twists and turns of life's journey.
Assisting or encouraging others to find their own best answers and to discover their own best paths for identity and spirituality can be joyful, soulful, and they often bring me an affirmation for my unique mission as a guide and helper.
