“This is the work of God”

“Do not work for food that perishes but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you….Jesus answered and said to them "This is the work of God, that you believe in the one he sent."” John 6:27-29

I have been drawn to God since I was a child. I remember wanting to understand and seeking more. I was not raised Catholic and was blessed to find my way to the church as an adult. When I felt the call to God and had my conversion I knew I wanted to align my life’s work with my beliefs. I wanted to be a Catholic therapist and use the tools of the faith that had saved and changed my life to help others. I hope that I can be of assistance to you on your walk of faith and guide you towards a deeper relationship with God. 

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest. I was always interested in psychology and felt very clear on my path from a young age. After graduate school I worked near my hometown for two years before deciding to move to Seattle. I enjoyed finding my freedom and experiencing a new life on my own, but I knew one day I would leave the city again. I have been fortunate enough to relocate to the Olympic peninsula where I find the beauty of God all around me on a daily basis and enjoy finding more stillness and calm to hear God’s voice between the bustle of daily life.

“My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.”
