listening is a reverent act
About
At the threshold
of your story.
Most people arrive carrying more than they can name — a story unfinished. I meet them at the threshold of where the story is asking to be told, to be heard, for Truth to find its voice.
I am a spiritual director and mentor devoted to spiritual formation, inner healing, and relational transformation. I accompany individuals and groups in listening deeply to their lives — attending to the places where prayer, experience, and relationship meet — so that the wisdom God has already placed within each person can be named, trusted, and lived from.
I served as mentor and faculty with the CenterQuest School of Spiritual Direction, where I taught Contemplative Prayer and Theological Reflection, and walked alongside emerging directors in their formation.
I have always been drawn to story. Formed by my Gaelic and Celtic roots, where music, poetry, and ancestral memory carry meaning, I learned early that listening itself is a reverent act. This way of listening continues to guide my vocation, particularly as people find themselves at profound life-changing thresholds — marked by transition, desire, longing, loss, or trauma.
Alongside spiritual direction, my life's work has unfolded in healthcare and education. For more than thirty years, I have worked with individuals and families living with illness, grief, trauma, mental health, and profound change.
At heart, my calling is to cultivate spaces where people feel seen, known, and safe enough to tell the truth of their lives — spaces where spiritual formation and neuroscience meet with humility, compassion, and grace, and where fuller freedom in Christ is gently invited.
