Spiritual Director, Supervisor & Enneagram Coach
Welcome. I appreciate your visit to my website, which is about seeking the more, the magis. I am a certified spiritual director as well as a certified enneagram coach.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION:
I ground myself in Roman Catholicism after growing up in the Protestant tradition. I live in the Atlanta, GA, area. I have always enjoyed nature, especially gardening, hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, and being a plant identifier on www.iNaturalist.com. I treasure expressions of creativity. Passionate about reading! My favorite movie of all-time at this moment is Shawshank Redemption. I enjoyed my first career as a microbiologist in NYC.
