Hello.
I am a pastor, certified spiritual director and an adjunct professor in leadership and spiritual formation. I am married to Ryan and mom to three wonderful teenage boys.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, a born and raised Oregonian. So naturally, I do enjoy a good cup of coffee and misty hike in the woods or along the coast. I love living here and every time I get to travel, I always want to come home to Oregon.
My passion is to see people grow, heal and change and to come into the fullness of who they are in Christ. I want to be an inviter of spiritual renewal and practice for anyone who is interested. My desire is to create safe spaces for transformation and change, whether that be an individual or group capacity.
I hold a Masters Degree in Spiritual Formation and a certificate in Spiritual Direction from Portland Seminary. I enjoy working with adults and teens who are interested in finding relationship with God and developing a deeper awareness of their life and God in it. I am interested in the practices of the spiritual life, particularly prayer.
I find it important to listen well to the stories of those I work with, all the intricacies and details. I am not afraid of your pain.
I’m glad you’re here. I hope you find this space to be accessible, restful and where you continually feel seen.
