At fifteen, I sat cross-legged on my bedroom floor with my first Tarot deck. What began as curiosity turned into a glimpse of the deep wisdom we all carry, and it set my life in motion.
Raised Baptist with an Appalachian lineage, I grew up surrounded by faith and story. That foundation shaped my call to serve and later guided me into nearly twenty years of congregational ministry as a Unitarian Universalist Religious Educator.
Over time, my way of listening began to change. I had spent years speaking the language of the mind, but my soul has always had an Appalachian accent. Training in Spiritual Direction and Dream Work taught me to pay closer attention to symbols, to intuition, to the ways Spirit speaks in everyday life.
Listening Beneath the Surface
Later, work as a Green Burial Steward took me into prairie and woods, tending graves and walking the land. My listening deepened. Mediumship found me there, naturally and without effort.
The Work I Do Now
These days my work centers on the contemplative path of Spiritual Direction, informed by Jungian psychology and intuitive sensing. I help people encounter Psyche and Spirit through conversation, through dreams, and through the bonds of love that remain even after death. Some sessions happen at The Grove Wellness Collective. Some happen online. Wherever they unfold, the heart of it is the same: a space to slow down, listen, and learn to live a soul-led life.

Everything I do starts with listening.
Sometimes that means working through a nighttime dream. Sometimes it’s sitting with emotional pain or grief. Sometimes it's pulling a Tarot card, exploring the Enneagram, or referencing an astrological chart. And sometimes it’s reaching for someone who has died. However it shows up, we slow down and listen together.
Most people find me when life has changed in a way they didn’t expect and they’re trying to make sense of it. Maybe someone they love has died. Maybe something important has ended or begun. Maybe they feel disconnected and want to feel whole again.
You don’t have to carry that alone. Our time together gives you space to breathe, reflect, and begin to understand what this season of your life is about. The space I offer is warm and steady. We take our time. I bring decades of congregational ministry, a depth psychological lens, intuitive practice, and deep listening to each session.
My hope is that you leave feeling more grounded, more supported, more at peace with where you are, and with a clearer sense of where you are going.

A space to bring your questions and experiences. Through conversation, dream work, and intuitive reflection, we uncover what needs your attention and help you find a way forward.

Tarot and Astrology readings help you see your current season with greater perspective. We look at patterns and timing so you can understand what is happening and respond with intention.

Mediumship offers the possibility of loving, evidential communication with those no longer living. These sessions invite healing, clarity, and a sense of continued relationship.

Life speaks in many ways. Through dreams, through grief, through moments that stay with us.
I first learned this with a Tarot deck as a teenager, and I have seen it ever since in the lives of the people I work with.
My work is about helping you slow down, listen, and find meaning in what your soul is already showing you.


My work is continually shaped by ongoing study and ethical, intentional practice.
You are welcome here, whatever your background.
I have been shaped by the enneagram, mysticism, depth psychology and the wisdom of many contemplative traditions. You don’t need to share my beliefs. This work centers your relationship with the Mystery as you understand it (or none at all). Bring your spirituality as you experience it.
