The desire for a deeper relationship with God drew me into places of formal learning and invited me to become a student of my own life. As a lifelong learner, I reflect deeply upon the events and happenings in my daily life. My spiritual path has taken me to both the deserts of pain and despair and joyful experiences on the mountaintop. By opening to both pain and joy, I know a deeper presence of Love and Compassion that I experience as the presence of God. Noticing God’s action in my life has been, and is, my greatest teacher.

As an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), my call to ministry led me to study in the areas of contemplative and active prayer. My desire to impact the institution of the church drew me to learn methods to discern God’s will in systems and structures. My joy in connecting with God in a community opened me to study contemplative worship and small group ministry. The desire to share with others called me into leadership training and youth ministry.

My passion for healing led me into extensive study of Reiki, visualization, God's Healing Gift, an intercessory prayer practice, and other forms of healing.  I joyfully share my life with all who seek a deeper relationship with God, the Divine Mystery of Love.
