It is my privilege to journey with directees on their paths toward embracing the Holy. Besides formal
training in spiritual direction, I also hold a Master of Pastoral Studies from Loyola University-New
Orleans. My background is also steeped in education (PhD), retreat work, qualified to direct individuals
in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, professional development workshops, social justice advocacy,
centering prayer, and liturgical music. My ministry is inclusive and ecumenical, which includes
welcoming serious seekers who identify as “Nones”/spiritual-but-not religious, spiritually fluid, and
those who are exploring/embracing LGBTQ+ issues. Office located in Marrero, Louisiana (New Orleans
metro area), but also am able and willing to conduct sessions via Zoom, FaceTime, or phone if necessary.
