Natural abilities, life experience, and a genuine love and concern for people led to my profession as a spiritual companion. I believe the spiritual journey is a natural one and encourage individuals toward their true nature, respectful and reverent of individual beliefs. My practice is supported by extensive spiritual direction training, a master of theological studies degree, ongoing education and contribution in the areas of spiritual and religious injury, spiritual trauma, as well as diverse wellness, spiritual, and religious practices. I accompany people from all walks of life.
