For more than 30 years, speaking, teaching, and creating meaningful experiences have been central to my work. Whether I am with youth, young adults, healthcare professionals, church communities, or retreat groups, my goal is the same - to create space for reflection, honest conversation, hope, and growth, As a pastor and board certified chaplain, I have spent my career walking alongside people through life’s most meaningful and difficult moments. In the hospital, I teach patients, families, Physicians, and healthcare staff about grief, resilience, spirituality, and compassionate care. In the community, I lead grief groups and presentations that help people understand loss, navigate life’s transitions, and discover hope for the journey ahead.
As a ceramic artist, I have discovered that working with clay offers another pathway to healing. Creating with our hands invites us to slow down, be present, and reconnect with ourselves. Blending my experience as a chaplain with the creative process allows participants to experience reflection, peace, and joy in tangible ways.
I enjoy leading keynote presentations, workshops, and retreats for churches, healthcare organizations, community groups, leadership teams, women’s groups, and conferences. Whether it is a 1-hour presentation, a day-long workshop, or a weekend retreat, each experience is thoughtfully designed to meet the unique needs of your group while encouraging meaningful conversation, personal growth, and renewed hope.
If you are looking for a speaker or retreat leader who combines practical wisdom, compassionate presence, and creative reflection, I’d be honored to be a part of your next event. Together, we can create space to pause, reflect, reconnect, and discover what it means to make today a good day!
