About

“I have served in vocational ministry as a pastor for over 25 years. My own spiritual journey has been marked by a long and slow awakening to the love of God, through the joys and sorrows of ordinary life. Seasons of pain and suffering have also stripped away my illusions that I can float above the fray. I am learning to welcome what’s happening in my life, and be with God in the present moment, not after things calm down or when I get my life tidied up. I am convinced that God calls me his Beloved, and I am curious how I can continue to build my life upon that reality. I seek to discover and create that which is good, beautiful and true.

I find great joy in accompanying others on their spiritual journey, I seek to provide a non-judgmental space, and meet each person where they are, knowing that is where Christ meets me. I believe everyone has a unique story, and that we are invited to hold that story as sacred. I welcome the opportunity to walk with you, as you seek to know yourself and God more, and, perhaps, grow in intimacy with him.

“Take more time. Cover less ground.” – Thomas Merton
