Meadville Lombard Theological School  (2025)  

I am a spiritual director, animal chaplain, Unitarian Universalist minister, and veganic market gardener. Applying a regenerative philosophy, I accompany spiritual seekers in revitalizing and renewing their connections to the Earth, the sacred, and life-affirming, resilient, social ecosystems. I companion people of all spiritual traditions as well as people who do not identify as spiritual. My life experiences, skills, and personal spiritual practices make me an especially good fit for educators; creators; activists; religious professionals; farmers and gardeners; travelers; people who are retired or transitioning between fields, relationships, or life stages; veterinarians, shelter workers, animal care volunteers, and animal lovers in general; and those grieving climate change or exploring a post-doom spirituality. 

My credentials include: Certification in Spiritual Direction -- Meadville Lombard 

PhD (Comparative Literature, University of Rochester, with specializations in Russian and Spanish) and over 20 years in higher education, teaching and administration
