Retreat Leader & Conference Speaker

Coach & Digital Retreat Leader

Coaching + Leading

When I heard a still small voice calling me to use my gifts of connection, empathy, and leadership to be a priest, I balked. Who was I to live into such a call and let my light shine bright in this world? I have a propensity for stirring up trouble: preaching the gospel, questioning authority, lifting up the voice of the voiceless. I knew that God was calling me into a new model of priesthood, one where I could collaborate with others and inspire them to use their gifts, one where the goal was not simply blending into the status quo but truly living out the radical and loving discipleship of Jesus.

I believe that each person is created in God’s image and has magnificent gifts to share with the world. As a priest, I walk with people through the joys and heartaches of life. As a person whose parent died, I talk openly about grief and encourage others to do the same. As a Certified Daring Way Facilitator, I have trained with Brené Brown and incorporate her work on authenticity, vulnerability, and wholeheartedness into preaching, teaching, coaching, and pastoral counseling.

Whether you’re striving to live into your gifts, claim brave leadership for yourself or your board, inspire a group to follow their dreams and live wholeheartedly, or collaborate on a new resource or event, I can’t wait to create, together.

Personalized Coaching

Are you seeking greater meaning in your job, trying to claim your voice in the world, or brimming with excitement over a new dream? If so, I want to journey with you. I work with individuals and couples who are feeling stuck or wanting to bring intention and wholeheartedness into their lives, vocations, and relationships. We can meet by video for situation-specific or ongoing coaching. My rate is $115/hour for ongoing work or $125 for single sessions. Let’s schedule a consult to discuss your needs.

Group Retreats + Trainings

Everyone yearns to have time away to reset their mind, body, and soul. Retreats are a great opportunity to connect with God, yourself, and others. I’ve led many exciting retreats, in person and digitally—including a Bring Your Own Cabin Retreat, Find Your Spark, Daring Discipleship for Young Adults, Wholehearted Women, and Holy Nourished! I lead retreats (ranging from half day to multiple days), seasonal quiet days, staff/vestry retreats, and more. Bring me in to lead a retreat, sign up for one here, or be notified when registrations go live.

Online Classes & Webinars

Online courses are perfect for those individuals and groups who want to go deeper but have limited time or are a considerable distance from me. I’ve led adult formation series and storytelling workshops for Palmer Memorial Church; wellness webinars such as Braving the Wilderness: Lanterns to Light Our Way for the women’s coworking space The Locality and Episcopal Church Foundation; meditation workshops for nonprofit Play On Philly; and series on Wholehearted Living and Rising Strong.

See past offerings for inspiration, or bring me in to create something new for your community. Have an idea? Reach out here.

Keynote Speaking

I travel around the country speaking on topics that draw on my background and fit the needs of your organization. Recently, I’ve keynoted the Episcopal Camps & Conference Centers Annual Conference, Episcopal Communicators Annual Conference, and Kanuga Christian Formation Conference. I have past and upcoming experience speaking on burnout, Finding your Spark (vocational discernment), vulnerability and authenticity, worship, digital ministry, How2charist, The Daring Way, and more.
