welcome to my story

---

My journey into spiritual direction began with my own questions. After years of caring for others in the medical field, I longed for something deeper—a way to tend not just to bodies but also souls. I was drawn to the ancient practice of spiritual companionship, where transformation happens not through advice-giving, but through sacred listening.

For 12 years now, I've had the profound privilege of walking alongside people in their most tender spiritual moments. I've sat with overburdened pastors questioning their call,  seasoned believers navigating seasons of spiritual dryness, and seekers taking tentative steps toward the Divine. I've served as a spiritual director for two seminaries, witnessing the beautiful unfolding of ministerial vocations.

More recently, I've added spiritual life coaching to my practice, integrating the contemplative depth of spiritual direction with practical tools for transformation. This allows me to help people not only listen for God's voice, but also identify and transform the unconscious limiting beliefs that keep them from living the abundant life God intends.

After thousands of hours of sacred conversation, here's what I know to be true:

You already have what you need. My role isn't to fix you or give you answers—it's to help you listen more deeply to the wisdom that already lives within you and to the God who always speaks love over your life.

Every story matters. Whether you're steeped in traditional faith, identify as spiritual but not religious, or are just beginning to explore the sacred dimensions of life, your journey is holy and worthy of reverence.

Transformation is possible at any stage. I've seen people in their 20s and 80s experience profound shifts in understanding themselves and their purpose. It's never too late—or too early—to live more authentically.

Community and solitude both matter. While I offer individual spiritual direction and coaching, I also facilitate group workshops and classes because sometimes we need the mirror of community to see ourselves clearly.

What moves me most profoundly is witnessing when someone realizes they are more beloved, capable, and called than they ever imagined. Whether it's a seminary student discovering their authentic ethos, a person in midlife transition recognizing new possibilities, or learning to break free from limiting beliefs that have held them captive for decades, these moments of awakening never get old.

I believe passionately that every person carries a unique reflection of the Divine and has something beautiful to offer the world. Sometimes we need someone to sit with us in the questions, celebrate the discoveries, and gently remind us of who we truly are when we forget.

I'm blessed to share life with my husband, Dave, and I'm a proud mom, stepmom, auntie, and grandma. Family life keeps me grounded in the beautiful messiness of ordinary grace.

When I'm not in sessions or examining eyes, you'll likely find me walking (my favorite form of prayer), writing (another form of meditation), or curled up with a good book on spirituality and consciousness. I believe deeply that tending to our own souls is the best preparation for tending to others.

If you've read this far, perhaps something in my story resonates with yours. Maybe you're in a season of questioning, transitioning, or longing for deeper awareness of your divinity. Perhaps you're feeling called to something new, but unsure what that might be. Or perhaps you're ready to identify and transform whatever has held you back from living with greater joy and freedom.

Whatever brought you here, you're welcome. Your journey, with all its twists, turns, and sacred questions, is honored here.

I'd love to hear your story and explore together how spiritual direction or spiritual life coaching might serve your unique path forward.
