About the author

It’s nice to meet you! I am passionate about Ignatian spirituality and teaching people how to pray; how to make room for God in the busyness. I work hard to practice what I preach — sharing the wisdom that people taught me– on how to pray and how to use the tools of Ignatian spirituality as a lay person.

Despite the journey it took for me to believe God calls for me, accompanying people deeper in their faith lives is at the heart of my call, whether its walking with someone in Spiritual direction or through writing or in person on a retreat. This is the work of my life for the last twenty plus years, and I cannot see stopping it anytime soon. I am looking forward to accompanying you!

Stick around for just a while and you’ll find out real quick how deep my Louisiana roots run! My faith is influenced tremendously by the Catholic community of South Louisiana that continues to broaden my understanding that being Catholic is a lot more than just showing up to mass on Sunday. It is also about getting outside and seeing God in nature, about hospitality, about sharing meals together, and about supporting your community around you, especially when bad weather is upon us. It is why on any given day there is a good chance you’ll find more than just our family members in our home.

You’ll learn, too, of my deep love for my hubby, Chris, and children, Brady, Abby and Mary. I guarantee you’ll probably hear a story or two from our sixteen years of marriage and the adventures of our lives as a family! Honestly, there is truly no greater joy than sharing life with these four amazing human beings
.
My favorite thing to do is sit in deep conversation with another person listening to each other tell the stories of our lives, exploring the deeper questions , and learning more about ourselves, each other, and God in the process. My hope is that we can do that one day together too- whether it be through meeting each other on a retreat or through my writing.
