My Mission

Devoted Service and Compassionate Care

My background as a board certified chaplain and an ordained minister revealed to me that true healing begins with presence. In our sessions, you step into an experience built on clinical and church experience and mindful spiritual exploration. This is a safe space where your identity is honored, your narrative is valued, and your unique perspective—secular or sacred—is held with respect and professional care.

I bring a stable presence to our connection, ensuring you are held by an advocate who understands the intricate layers of the human experience. Whether honoring deep sorrow or finding joy, my mission is to anchor you in your own quiet power. Vermont Sacred Thresholds, LLC blends theological depth with an open-hearted approach to modern spirituality and wellness.

My credentials include a BA from the University of Florida in English and an M.Div. from Columbia Theological Seminary. Certifications include: Mediation/Lombard Mennonite Peace Center, Level 1 Kundalini Yoga/KRI, and Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching/The Ayurvedic Institute. My ordination is with the United Church of Christ and my board certification is through the Association of Professional Chaplains (APC). My professional background includes hospice and trauma chaplaincy as well as church pastoring experience.
