Pastor & Spiritual Director

I have a MA in Spiritual Formation from Portland Seminary and am a certified spiritual director. I am an experienced discipleship pastor, having served in the DC Metro area for over 15 years. Now nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains just outside of Charlottesville, VA, I meet with clients in my home or over video call.

Most of my spiritual companions are caregivers, counselors, academics, ministry professionals, recently graduated or in training spiritual directors and range in age from college to retirement.

As a wedding officiant, I offer custom heartfelt & meaningful ceremonies to anyone in love. I am an experienced premarital counselor, my approach is relational, story based & lighthearted (we laugh a lot). I am open to working with anyone that feels a nudge to connect – and I hope you do reach out.
