I’ve spent over 30 years in ministry, including time on staff with Young Life and more recently with a retreat and hospitality ministry in the Denver area. I’m a trained spiritual director and completed a program in Christian Formation and Soul Care at Denver Seminary, where I learned to walk alongside others in their spiritual journeys.

A few years ago, I went through a battle with cancer. I’m grateful to be doing well now—and that experience deepened my longing to create. It reminded me how healing beauty and creativity can be and increased my desire to help others experience it, too.

Practicing art during that time helped me reconnect with God in deeper ways—and it also supported my mental health. Painting became a space to slow down, breathe, process, and rediscover joy.

I’d be honored to walk with you as you explore how faith and art can meet in meaningful, restorative ways.
