I work extensively in ongoing spiritual direction, individually directed retreats, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and dreamwork. I marvel at the wholeness of life and God using all of creation and life experience to be in communion with us. In my work with individuals and groups, I help people discover God present in the dailiness of life, drawing from a variety of approaches to help people recognize and respond to God’s presence.

As a Roman Catholic Sister of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, I hold a Master’s degree in Christian Spirituality from Creighton University (1977), a Doctor of Ministry degree in Spiritual Direction from the Graduate Theological Foundation (1992), and a certificate from the Haden Institute Dream Leader Training Program (2009). I am an avid quilter and founding director of Bethany Retreat House (East Chicago, Indiana), where I have served for 25 years.
