My Mission Statement is the clue as to why you may wish to contact me. Having been led through the Darkness into transforming Light, I know both the territory of pain and what it is to be grasped by Amazing Grace. If you are looking for a Spiritual Guide or Speaker who is herself on the Quest for the Holy, then I may be the right person to accompany you or your ministry team or other group. 

I love to work with groups or individuals that are committed to deepening their spirituality, living more authentically, and leading more purpose-driven lives-- and who are willing  to embrace the hard work that this journey entails. While I serve primarily in Christian contexts, I companion people from every Faith as well as those without a formal religious affiliation. Those seeking God are my ideal clients.

Working with individuals or with couples is a powerful experience that involves mutual vulnerability, trust and respect.  In our sessions together, prayer is always a possibility if you are seeking faith-based solutions to life's issues. I will not impose my "God" language or beliefs on you, but will honor where you are, where you wish to travel, and how you wish to get there! I also work with couples who prefer a secular approach to relationship coaching.

When working as a life coach with a small group, I try to foster the same experience of intimacy and authenticity that is possible with individuals or couples. One of my specialties is ministerial coaching --I teach this at CTU; it is a real privilege to help clergy and other ministry professionals explore their vision/mission, develop their ministry skills and extend their pastoral reach.

As a presenter, in large group settings, I rely on "stage presence" to engage the audience and keep them focused; at the same time, however, my style is one of transparency. I prefer to tell stories, share insights and draw on the experience of the group rather than lecture. As a college professor with over 40 years of experience, I have quite a repertoire of presentation skills!

Since the beginning of the pandemic, my clients work with me virtually and  are located across the country and even overseas. When life returns to "normal," I will travel to your location to give a presentation or retreat, whether in Chicago or beyond.
