A Roman Catholic, married, mother of four and grandmother of five, I received training from Fr. Bill Creed, S.J., in a 2-year Spiritual Companioning Program and in a 3-year Advanced Spiritual Direction Internship in the Ignatian Tradition from Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House. Currently, I participate in an Advanced Seminar on Giving the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola.

I practice Spiritual Direction, enjoy giving the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and provide spiritual formation within the parish and at Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat House. I am a graduate of the Diocese of Gary Lay Ecclesial Ministry Formation Program, Parish Liturgy Program in the Archdiocese of Chicago, IL.; served as Pastoral Coordinator, Liturgy and Spirituality Coordinator, and Director of Religious Education for children and adults in the Diocese of Gary, IN. I participate in two Peer Supervision groups and receive Spiritual Direction, along with one-on-one supervision.
