“You have made us for Yourself, O Lord,
and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”

— Augustine of Hippo
 

We live in a world that pulls us in a thousand directions—filled with noise, hurry, and unending demands. Many of us carry a quiet ache beneath the surface: the weariness of striving, the loneliness of being unseen, the anxiety of not quite keeping up. In this restless and distracted culture, I offer a space that is unhurried and safe—a sacred pause where you can rest, breathe, and speak honestly about what is stirring in you. It is a space for deep listening, where nothing needs to be fixed or performed, and where God’s gentle presence can be encountered in the truth of your own story.

As a trained spiritual director, my desire is to help you move from restlessness to rest and from striving to freedom in Christ. I often describe this journey as Ember & Wind—abiding in the steady flame of God’s presence and living in the freedom and power of His Spirit.

In our time together, we’ll attend to your story—your joys and sorrows, disappointments and hopes—trusting that everyday life is the very place where belief becomes an encounter with God.

My journey has been shaped by over 30 years of ministry with Young Life, walking alongside teenagers as they discover the love of Jesus. In recent years, I’ve focused on developing and discipling leaders in ministry and life. I hold a BA in Psychology from Whitman College and have done graduate work in Theology at Fuller Seminary and Regent College. I have three grown sons and share life with one amazing husband. I find God’s delight in the mountains and on a bike. Though I grew up playing every conceivable sport, today prayer has become my favourite one!

Certified through Soul Formation's School of Spiritual Direction, I offer direction for men and women, young adults, and those in midlife who desire to serve Jesus from a place of intimacy, trust, and wholeness.
