I’m a spiritual director passionate about creating spaces of rest and renewal for peacemakers, justice advocates, and all who are seeking restoration in a broken world.

​

I know what it’s like to carry the weight of that calling—to feel responsible for every need, every injustice, every cry for help, longing to make the world better, while quietly growing weary along the way. In the work of pouring ourselves out for others, we often forget that we, too, need spaces to be held, to be restored, and to be reminded that we are not alone.

​

I believe we do our most faithful, sustainable work not from exhaustion, but from wholeness. And that kind of wholeness begins with making room to slow down, to listen, and to receive. That's why I seek to cultivate spaces of connection, contemplation, and curiosity—spaces where compassion can grow, both for ourselves and for others.

​

I spent over a decade working in the nonprofit world with Solidarity, equipping Latino immigrant families in under-resourced neighborhoods. I also served as Pastor of Peacemaking & Justice at One Life City Church. Today, in addition to my work as a spiritual director, I also provide operational support and financial management for organizations working toward the common good.

I am a Jesus follower, a stumbling peacemaker, and a recovering perfectionist living in Orange County, California with my husband and our two kids.
