Welcome to a sanctuary of faith formation
​
I offer trauma-informed and mindful psycho-spiritual formation—a space of healing and growth
Welcome!
This journey of soul work is both personal and sacred and not meant to be walked alone. As Henri Nouwen reminds us, true spiritual growth unfolds in the presence of compassionate companionship.
​
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, I have walked alongside individuals and communities facing deep suffering, trauma, loss, resilience, and transformation. Alongside this, my lifelong involvement in faith ministry has shaped my awareness of generational trauma and the sacred call to inner healing. These dual callings, trauma-informed care and spiritual formation, have converged into a vocation of sacred accompaniment.
​
Formed in a Scottish household where story was woven into the fabric of daily life, I came to understand that narrative is not only memory, but medicine. It is through the telling and re-telling of our sacred stories that healing, beauty, and meaning begin to emerge. This legacy continues to shape my approach today: a spacious, reverent invitation to explore the terrain of your own unfolding story.
My approach is trauma-informed and integrative, grounded in the intersections of psychology, neuroscience, and contemplative theology. I draw on a range of modalities including Interpersonal Neurobiology, Jungian dreamwork, Narrative Therapy, the Enneagram, Group Process, and somatic practices to support a creative and compassionate understanding of the human experience.
​
Trained in Contemplative-Evocative Spiritual Direction through CenterQuest, I hold space for the soul’s becoming with deep presence and attunement. Whether you are navigating seasons of transition, inner tension, grief, spiritual dryness, or longing for deeper meaning, I offer a contemplative and nurturing space to reconnect with the Divine, listen to the wisdom of your story, and awaken to new purpose.
​
You are not alone. Welcome to a place of sacred listening, embodied presence, and transformational healing.
