On a number of occasions, I have made bold moves and big transitions in my life. I’ve moved from the East Coast to Chicago and back again. I’ve worked for a large corporation, community-based nonprofits, a start-up consulting company, and started my own businesses. Twice I’ve resigned from jobs, once with no real plan and once for a year-long sabbatical and major life reorientation.

With each of these transitions, I went through a process of discernment – I listened for my purpose, for who God (Spirit, my True Self) was calling me to be in the world at each juncture in my life. I then did my best to make decisions consistent with that guidance.

These experiences – along with years of personal growth and development; intensive training in communication and deep listening; dozens of retreats, workshops and mission trips; formation and training as a spiritual director and an Enneagram Coach; as well as my professional experience as a project manager – have all led me to being a coach and spiritual director.

I now have the honor and privilege to help others gain clarity, get unstuck, and pursue their purpose so they can live a more whole, meaningful, and joy-filled life.
