I’m a spiritual director, speaker, retreat director, writer, mom, wife, friend, and faltering follower of Jesus, and not necessarily in any order at any moment. I’m constantly amazed at God’s grace and mercy, and I need them both daily— and in abundance. I believe but doubt. I love and I hate. I mourn and laugh. I give up and keep going. I see the best and worst in myself. I want to love Jesus with abandon but trip over competing desires.

Ask me about my deepest passions and I’d tell you I love helping people deepen their relationship with God, whether through leading silent retreats, offering spiritual direction, or having a deep conversation over a cup of coffee. Having tasted the unqualified and unending love of God, I can think of nothing better to offer to others. I love hearing others stories and holding space for people who want to sort out what they want to believe and what they want to let go of.

Now for the not-so interesting stuff: I earned my Master of Divinity degree in 1999. I completed my Spiritual Director Certification through Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee, where I live with my husband, daughter (when she’s home from college), and two pets (who shed a LOT). Right now, I’m working on a fiction book–a mystery. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
