My Story

With over 28 years of ministry experience, I have found my deepest joy in walking alongside others as they navigate their unique spiritual landscapes. My path has led me to a profound love for the ministry of spiritual direction—a sacred space where we slow down to listen for the "still, small voice" of the Holy Spirit together. Having spent nearly three decades in ministry, I understand the unique weight and weariness that can come with ministering to others. I have a particular heartbeat for helping those in ministry care for their own souls. We can easily let the "work for God" become more important than our "walk with God," but a healthy soul is the only sustainable foundation for leadership. I am dedicated to helping ministry leaders move beyond burnout and into a place of wholeness. My heart is to help you peel back the noise of daily life to:

Discern Divine Movements: Identify the subtle ways God is working, speaking, and inviting you into deeper relationship.
Practice Holy Attentiveness: Shift from "doing" to "being" by paying close attention to your inner life.
Prioritize Soul Health: Cultivate a sustainable rhythm of life that protects your spiritual, physical and emotional well-being.

Whether you are a ministry leader seeking a safe harbor, or an individual hungering for a more contemplative life, I am honored to offer a listening ear and a prayerful presence. Together, we will hold space for your story and look for the fingerprints of the Creator in your life.
