welcome
A call to pastoral ministry was whispered to me from a young age—a gentle tug from God that I’ve come to recognize as an invitation to listen and follow. Over time, that call led me into seasons of deep formation, where God began to slow me down and help me notice what was happening within my own heart. In a world full of noise and striving, I discovered that transformation often comes not through doing more, but through learning to listen and rest in God’s presence.
Through my training in spiritual direction and years of pastoral accompaniment, I’ve come to treasure the sacred work of walking alongside others as they discern where God is at work in their lives. Since 2017, I’ve been offering spiritual direction and soul care to individuals and groups—creating gentle, unhurried spaces where people can be attentive to God’s voice, their own inner life, and the movements of the Spirit.
Whether gathered in my living room for soul care groups, accompanying students in seminary, or walking with women in ministry, I’ve witnessed the quiet, transformative power of listening in community. During seminary, God gave me the vision for Making Way—inspired by the image of a sailboat carried by the current when the rudder is released. As we quiet the noise and rest in God’s voice, we are still being formed—slowly and faithfully—into the imago Dei.
I believe that committing to deeper communion with God opens us to a spacious and abundant life, marked by freedom, joy, and presence—the life Jesus speaks of in John 10:10.
Hi, I am so glad you are here!
