I am a fellow messy, beloved human on a journey of knowing myself and God more deeply. I have wrestled with God through relational and religious trauma, depression and anxiety, loneliness and disillusionment and deeply understand the questions, doubts, and struggles that come with spiritual growth. Growing up in a Baptist evangelical church, I did not always feel the permission to allow these parts of my soul to surface in my relationship with God. But as I experienced the no-strings-attached love of God, I found the freedom to release perfectionism and conformity and to simply be myself. My hope is that you too would know how deeply you are loved and delight in the gift of being yourself.

My faith has evolved to be more ecumenical in nature, as I have learned so much across the denominations and borders of Christianity. While I come from a Christian worldview, you need not share my faith or beliefs. I will do my best to honor your traditions, beliefs, and faith background, as well as your race, culture, ethnicity, and sexual orientation.

I live with my partner, Steve of 17 years and my 14 year old son and 12 year old daughter in Auburn, CA. We feel lucky to live so close to nature and enjoy floating the rivers, paddleboarding the lakes, riding the bike trails, and hiking the Great Sierras. And, of course, we love being a short drive away from Lake Tahoe.
