Helping people and organizations become everyday peacemakers through education, spiritual direction and cultural humility and leadership development.
The Art and practice of Spiritual Direction
About
Over the years, I’ve taught Intercultural Studies and led courses on everything from dialogue to cultural competency and spiritual formation. My favorite part? Watching people’s perspectives expand as they dive into new ways of thinking and connecting. Whether I’m leading a leadership retreat, facilitating conflict resolution workshops, or coaching on resilience in leadership, my goal is to help you live out your true potential, while also keeping things grounded and real.
Why Work With Me?
I’ve spent years blending the best of spiritual direction and leadership coaching to help people like you tap into their inner wisdom. I specialize in helping women in leadership move past burnout and rediscover what brings them joy and energy. Whether you're navigating a career shift or looking to improve your personal growth, I’m here to guide you through the process—with some laughter along the way.
And when I say I know about handling challenges, I’m serious! I’ve led pilgrimages to Rwanda and Spain, where I helped participants learn about forgiveness, reconciliation and inner life of the leader. I also help run a nonprofit with my husband, Heart to Heart, where we teach nonviolent communication and conflict transformation—yes, even in prisons!
Basically, if you’re looking for someone who can combine faith-based coaching with real-world leadership experience (and who can keep things fun while getting deep), I’m your gal.
Imagine how your life and ministry would feel if you could get help for...
Stress overload
Discouragement
Relational conflict
Spiritual dryness
Compassion fatigue
Feeling alone as a leader
Hitting a wall

Hey there!
