Professional Training & Areas of Interest
Areas of Interest
I am privileged to serve as a spiritual companion to groups and individuals both online and in person in Dallas, Texas. As a reader, writer, poet, and wannabe contemplative, I am passionate about cultivating spaces for the hard and holy work of healing in relationship to God, self, and others, for the flourishing of all people and communities.
Through my reading and writing, I explore matters of:
- faith
- justice
- contemplative life
- spiritual practices
- the Enneagram
- self-compassion
- mental health
- the divine feminine
I’m also a teacher, speaker, and small group facilitator. I live in the Dallas area with my husband and two daughters.

Enneagram Training
I am proud to be an International Enneagram Association Accredited Professional. I have worked for and trained under Enneagram teacher Suzanne Stabile at Life in the Trinity Ministry and have taken classes through The Narrative Enneagram. The Enneagram is a very helpful tool in spiritual direction. I enjoy teaching about and working with the Enneagram in both group and one-on-one settings.
Antiracism Work
My antiracism journey has been greatly impacted by my involvement in an organization called Be the Bridge, which exists to increase awareness of and responsiveness to racial brokenness and systemic injustice. I have co-led Be the Bridge groups and facilitated groups through Be the Bridge’s introductory curriculum for white people interested in antiracism.
I believe that embodying our unconditional belovedness is crucial in order for us to be reconciled to one another. This is a communal, lifelong journey of becoming.
Education
As a former elementary teacher, I have a Master’s Degree in Education, with an emphasis on Special Education, from Texas Christian University. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Early Childhood Education as well as a Texas teaching certificate.
