Ready to get unstuck?
I facilitate soul care for leaders like you so you can lead from abundance and inner joy rather than duty and burnout.

Your Guide to Spiritual Renewal and Authentic Leadership
With over 40 years of experience in faith-based nonprofit leadership, as a church pastor, ministry consultant and spiritual director, I help weary leaders rediscover their joy, heal from burnout and unmet needs, and lead from a place of soul-deep peace.
In John 1: 38-39, Jesus asks:
What do you want?
Can you answer this question honestly? Come and discover for yourself.
From Pastor’s Wife to Spiritual Director
After three decades of service as a women’s ministry leader and co-pastor, I began to notice a growing inner ache. The platform and persona required to lead and advise people were exhausting, and if I was honest, I found it difficult to love and really listen to people. I also did not even know how to listen or love myself! There was never time to nurture my own soul, and I thought it was selfish to do so, based on church messages I was taught. God began to bring to my attention books and writers in the contemplative Christian tradition like Henri Nouwen, James Bryan Smith, Thomas Merton, Ruth Haley Barton and others.
I remember going on my first silent retreat on a snowy winter day, where in the stillness and beauty, I began to see in new ways. I became aware that God put me here on the earth to be a receiver of his love and delight. I heard him singing over me for the first time. I heard him asking me “what do you want?” I was no longer a worker, but a lover, and called to be the most loving version of myself.
Now, after 10 years on the inner journey, as a trained spiritual director with Sustainable Faith, I offer the invitation of inner transformation to leaders with groups and retreats, helping leaders discover a spirituality that lets go of certainty and control, reputation and rightness, for the sake of love.
I’ve been there too.
I’ve spent over 40 years in nonprofit leadership, walking the same path you’re on. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed and spiritually drained. Through spiritual direction, retreats, and soul care cohorts, I help faith-driven leaders like you reconnect with God and themselves so they can lead from a place of abundance, not exhaustion.
