Spiritual direction has been an important part of my own life for over twenty years.  In my twenties, direction played a significant role in helping me move from an intellectual understanding of faith to a deeper intimacy with God.  In my thirties, spiritual direction helped me discern my own sense of vocation and calling.  Today, it's a privilege to offer direction to others, since it has been such a valuable practice to me.  

​

My spiritual direction training is from Fordham University in New York, where I received a Masters in Christian Spirituality and an Advanced Certificate in Spiritual Direction. I have been directing for five years and leading contemplative retreats for three years. 

 

Before becoming a director, I pursued careers in both classical music (opera) and business.  Because of this, I enjoy directing men and women from a wide variety of professions.  I married later in life, so I understand the gifts and struggles of singleness.  I also enjoy working with people who desire healing of “spiritual” wounds from difficult family or church situations that have distorted their image or view of God.

​

My church background is eclectic.  I grew up Presbyterian, and have participated in churches ranging from non-denominational to Episcopalian.  Although I'm not Catholic, I have a deep respect for the Catholic church and its wealth of traditions and wisdom.  

​

When I'm not directing, I enjoy gardening, cooking and getting outside with my husband and our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Taco.
