Profile: I was an ordained pastor, professor of religion and Biblical studies, holding a Master's degree in theology. I grew up in East Tennessee, and in 1997, I went into foreign missions in Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. I interacted and engaged with Buddhism, Daoism, Shintoism, and Animism during this time. I returned to the United States to Portland, OR in 2008 and have pastored both American and Taiwanese/Chinese churches in the Portland, OR, Metro area. I have extensive knowledge of Christianity. I studied every Protestant denomination and the history of the Church and made my way to Rome, converting to Catholicism in 2016. I provide Spiritual Direction and Companionship for those who are seeking guidance. I also work with those who may be suffering from religious trauma and addictions of various kinds via Zoom sessions if you are not local to the Vancouver WA area. My two primary focus areas are those with religious trauma and those with addiction issues. I offer direction on a sliding scale or donation starting at $60 per session. If you are seeking a spiritual director or companion, if you are suffering from religious or spiritual trauma and abuse, or alcoholism or addiction, please get in touch with me today.
