Soul Care and Spiritual Direction
I'm passionate about creating safe spaces and opportunities for people to experience God and His healing presence. I specialize in guiding personal and group spiritual formation and soul care experiences for individuals, women's groups and ministry leaders. My sweet spot is walking alongside those who feel stuck in their emotional pain and trauma and allowing the process of God's inner healing work to take place in a way that allows an experience of grace to breakthrough.
I graduated from Westmont College with a degree in Interpersonal Communication. I received a certificate in spiritual formation and soul care from the Soul Care Institute and Fuller Seminary and I received my training in Spiritual Direction from Anam Cara Ministries. I've been trained in inner healing through Imago Dei, and Life Model Works in Immanuel Journaling which all are integrations of psychology and spirituality and the heart brain connection.
For the past 25 years, I have served as a mentor, retreat leader, soul formation group facilitator, sabbatical coach and women’s ministry leader for both small and large ministries. I have also actively promoted the spiritual development and soul care for Young Life staff and volunteers. I live in Lafayette, CO with my husband Gill, two teenagers, with a Lab and a Yorkie. I enjoy gardening, hiking with girlfriends, leisure long days on our boat with family and friends and solitude times in the mountains.
