I've been in ministry in the United Methodist Church for over 40 years, serving most recently as the Minister of Missions and Outreach at Hyde Park UMC in Tampa, Florida with a heart for social justice and serving those on the margins. I completed my Spiritual Director training through the Center for Spiritual Formation in July 2025, and love listening to folks and helping them discern God's call for their lives. From the whispers to the shouts, I believe God is always speaking. I encourage people to be still and learn to silence all other voices but God's. Spiritual practices are indeed that, so I invite people to explore those that bring them closer to God and recognize that different ones may speak to them more in different seasons of life. I love engaging the questions and doubts and uncertainties of life, leaning into love and community for support.
