ABOUT ME

Fully-certified since August 2021, by Portland Seminary of George Fox University, I have participated in spiritual direction both personally and in praxis for many years.  I began my journey in spiritual direction with the Academy of Soul Formation (Portland, OR) in 2016, earning my certificate of completion in 2018.  It was there that my longing to be a director was formed.  After 15 years in vocational ministry, I decided to leave church work and went on to attend Portland Seminary of George Fox University where I earned my Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation.  After I completed my masters degree, I participated in the seminary's spiritual direction certification program.  

​

I have experience companioning all ages and stages of life, including those who have suffered trauma, grief and loss.  

​

I live with my husband, Nathan, our two boys and my faithful golden retriever, Manley, on our tiny farm in Central Washington. I am grateful that we get to live nearby our daughter and son-in-law.
