Director of Pastoral Care & Spiritual Formation

The privilege of accompanying program participants on their spiritual path of discovery and recovery, to bear witness to their sacred stories as their lives are transformed.

Favorite Guiding Light experiences:

• Participating in the communal Morning Ritual with the men and women of Guiding Light– voicing gratitude and positive intentions for the day
• The one-year sobriety celebrations, hearing the inspiring stories of recovery that fill the room with hope and joy

Cycling, paddleboarding, hot yoga, exploring the majesty of nature, Euchre and Five Crowns with family and friends, audio books and favorite podcasts

Wherever made-from-scratch falafel is served

Favorite Guiding Light lunch question:

This one from Vulnerability week keeps me curious and honest: “In what ways do you hide?”

Easily amused and enthused, allergic to shopping
