About

I have served in pastoral ministry for 20 years, teaching, counseling and providing leadership to the shepherding and spiritual formation ministries of the church. I earned a Masters of Divinity from Midwestern Theological Seminary (Kansas City, MO). I have completed training in the Soul Care Institute through Crosspoint and have also completed Crosspoint’s Enneagram training to become a Licensed Enneagram Instructor. I have also completed Your Enneagram Coach’s training to become a Certified Enneagram Coach.

My passion as a coach is to provide a safe place for people. I love working with individuals, couples, pastors and organizational leaders, using the tool of the Enneagram to help them get beneath the surface—to embrace their emotional reality and experience the love of Christ in the places in their story and soul that remain untouched and unaffected by the truth and power of the gospel. My prayer for my clients is that through the coaching process their inner being would be strengthened to know the love of God in a way that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 2:14-19). I want my clients to experience the transformation and freedom that come from knowing who they are and Whose they are as God’s dearly beloved.

I have a passion for leader health. I want to see pastors and leaders play the long game and function as anti-bodies who bring life and vitality to the relational systems and organizations they lead. I want to help pastors and organizational leaders see that the most important gift they can give to their teams is their own transformed presence. I want to cultivate healthy leaders who build healthy teams and healthy organizations.

I am married to life-long, best friend, Kari and we have three daughters: Lucy Blue, Susanna Jane, and Georgie Love. We also have a dog named Scout. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, jogging, record collecting, barbecuing, and making music.
