About Me

I am a trained Spiritual Director and Immanuel Prayer facilitator. I have found this listening prayer ministry very powerful and healing in my own life. It gives me great joy to walk alongside men and women of all ages and backgrounds as a spiritual companion, helping them experience more fully the deep love of God, and become the person God created them each to be.

For over 40 years, I have served in various ministries as a retreat speaker, teaching Bible studies, leading homeschool fellowship groups, leading small groups for listening and group spiritual direction, and offering workshops for soul care with spiritual disciplines, prayer, Enneagram Personality Styles, and Immanuel Journaling. 

I received my Certificate of Spiritual Direction from North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago, Illinois. My husband and I have six grown children and now live outside of Chicago with our dog, Max. I love to take long walks in creation, read, and have deep conversations with family and friends over a good meal.

"This is what the Lord says, 'Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16
