welcome

The call to pastoral ministry whispered to me from a young age, and I'll always remember the gentle tug I felt from God, guiding me towards pursuing a Masters of Theology & Ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. In addition, I became trained in spiritual direction at the Institute of Christian Spirituality at Lipscomb University. 

For me, there's nothing quite like the privilege of journeying alongside others as they navigate their faith. Since 2017, I've dedicated myself to offering Spiritual Direction and pastoral care, providing a nurturing space for individuals to explore where God is working in their lives. 

Whether it's facilitating intimate spiritual direction groups in the cozy comfort of my living room or guiding students during my time at Fuller Theological Seminary, each encounter has deepened my appreciation for the profound impact of soul care. I've also had the enriching experience of leading women's pastoral teams through spiritual direction, which has further expanded my understanding of the transformative power of listening.

Committing to deeper communion with God unlocks an expansive invitation of relationship — one that is overflowing with wonder and joy. It's within this sacred space of connection that we uncover the richness of life's abundance that God promises in John 10:10, "I came so that they could have life—indeed, so that they could live life to the fullest."

TEACHING & TRAINING

  • Fuller Theological Seminary equipped me with a profound understanding of theology and ministry, with a specialized two-year concentration on the spiritual formation of young adults in light of our culture today.

  • Trained and received a two-year certificate from the Institute for Christian Spirituality at Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN. This cohort program included a year dedicated to the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, enriching my spiritual insight and guidance abilities.

  • I practiced spiritual direction through hands-on experience as a spiritual director and college chaplain while receiving my Masters degree in Pasadena, California. At Christian Assembly, Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, I led soul care groups for the women’s pastoral staff. Additionally, my apprenticeship as a college chaplain at the University of Pepperdine broadened my perspective on guiding emerging adults (18-30) through their many life transitions and spiritual journeys.

  • Since 2018, I've been privileged to lead soul care groups and individual sessions through my private practice.

WHAT TO EXPECT

QUESTIONS

  • Christian Spiritual Direction: Spiritual direction focuses on helping individuals deepen their relationship with God, discern God's presence, seek guidance in their lives, and grow in spiritual maturity. The goal is primarily spiritual growth, self-awareness, and alignment with one's faith.

    Counseling: Counseling typically addresses specific emotional, psychological, or behavioral issues that require professional treatment. Therapeutic interventions help individuals overcome challenges, heal from past wounds, and develop coping strategies for improved mental and emotional well-being.

  • Christian spiritual direction and soul care find their biblical foundation in various passages that emphasize the importance of spiritual guidance, pastoral care, and the nurturing of the soul. The principles underlying the practice of spiritual direction are deeply rooted in Scripture. Here are some biblical foundations for Christian spiritual direction and soul care: Psalm 23: This beloved psalm portrays God as a shepherd who guides, protects, and provides for His people. It illustrates the intimate relationship between God and His followers, highlighting His care for their spiritual well-being. For more references, Proverbs 11:14, Matthew 28:19-20, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Hebrews 10:24-25.
