Providing Services for Navigating Life's Journeys.
I believe that there is a Holy Spirit flowing in us, through us, with us, for us, and in spite of us.
Please enjoy browsing the site and discovering the different services offered for you on your spiritual path. I offer Spiritual Direction for individuals and groups. I am an experienced Retreat Leader and really enjoy working alongside groups seeking that guidance.
I offer ministerial and spiritual support for individuals, couples and families. I serve people “who come as they are,” this includes: multi-faith, secular, and LGBTQ communities.
I am a non-denominational ordained Minister and Inter-Faith Spiritual Director. I have served in the UCC in southern California for over 25 years as a Christian Education Director and Program Specialist and started this private practice in 2012.
Due to the current situation of stay home and stay safe; I have moved my practice to online programming until further notice. This has been a difficult decision however I would rather do this than stop seeing so many of you through Spiritual Direction as well as the different workshops and talks. I will not be leading any retreats until we are all able to come out and gather together safely. I will continue to offer sacred safe space through the miraculous advancement of the internet and our computers because God knows no boundaries. I want you all to know my heart is with you and I pray you all well. God is with us and we are not alone.
I have served in ministry for over twenty five years and have spent many years leading spiritual gatherings and in spiritual companionship with others. I have been trained in the Art of Spiritual Direction and have earned certification through Stillpoint – The Center for Christian Spirituality in Southern California. I am a member of Spiritual Directors International.
Much of my background and ministry has been grounded in education and the historical Jesus. I served on staff at Irvine United Congregational Church from 2004 to 2012 when I resigned to devote my time to this practice. While at IUCC, I served as their Director of Education and Programs. I also served as the Director of Program and Operations at Pilgrim Pines Camp and Conference Center from 1998 to 2001.
While in these positions I had the unique opportunity and blessing of working with people of many different faiths and traditions. I have worked with many, many Clergy, Laypeople, Congregants and Youth over the years. I have also had the privilege of working with some of the most inspiring Theologians, Scholars and Spiritual Leaders in our time, including: Matthew Fox, Sister Helen Prejean, Bishop John Shelby Spong, Dominic Crossan, Marcus Borg, Brandon-Bernard Scott, the Rev. Fred Plumer, Mel White, Mike Farrell, the Rev. Dr. Jim Keck, the Rev. Dr. Paul Tellstrom and Rabbi Arnie Rachlis.
I offer my services and ministry to organizations seeking a Spiritual Vessel and Counselor in the midst of conflict to bring about resolution and healing. I am also available on a very limited basis for Life Coaching. I am a member of the UCC, The Center for Progressive Christians, Westar Institute of the Jesus Seminar on the Road and Spiritual Directors International. I am available to consult, collaborate, plan and present to groups, churches, and organizations that are in need of Spiritual Programs or Community and Staff Building Experiences with faith and purpose in mind.
We love our clients, so feel free to invite a friend to a retreat for free with your paid registration.
By appointment.
