Profile: Nurture your spirit. Pause to pay attention to what matters most in life, in the presence of another. Take time to cultivate your relationship with the sources of life, joy, and meaning as you know them, in the presence of a human who will witness, encourage, and challenge you along the way.

I'm currently enrolled in the Spiritual Direction Certificate program at Cherry Hill Seminary, and offering spiritual direction as part of my training. Although I'm new to providing spiritual witness as a professional practice, I've been serving people's spiritual needs as a credentialed Unitarian Universalist minister since 2012. I have been a guest in many spiritual communities, and have found my personal home for spiritual practice in Zen Buddhism.
