Welcome to RootedInSpirit.org, my professional home page and occasional weblog.
This site outlines my devotion to providing holistic, nonsectarian resources for spiritual growth, particularly through meditation and spiritual direction.
I developed this specialty through a master’s degree at Meadville/Lombard Theological School and training at Claret Center. My education centered on spirituality and contemplative psychology. After graduation, I was endorsed by the Ministerial Fellowship Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Association and was ordained. I now practice independently, through Studio Zero, a 501-c-3 nonprofit.
Meanwhile, I have been a meditator for over 25 years. On this path, I have practiced Buddhist meditation (Zen and Tibetan forms) and Western styles of contemplative prayer. I continue to study the mystical branches of the world’s religions to inspire my personal and professional paths.
For ongoing inspiration and education, I am a member of Spiritul Directors International. I participate in peer supervision according to the ethical norms of that organization.
