I am licensed as an officiant of marriage in the state of Minnesota. I’m a passionate teacher and preacher, and a leader of prayer for the Charis Ecumenical Catholic Community in the southwest metro. I am ordained as a priest of the Ecumenical Catholic Communion in their service. In addition to my ministry credentials, I have a PhD in theology.  I love leading retreats and find particular joy in serving youth and young adults.

I’ve helped couples and families create rituals and services that speak to the needs of the moment that also honor the religious and spiritual values that have shaped their lives.

Sometimes, this involves creatively interweaving threads from various traditions; I have a deep respect for all the great faith traditions and serve on the board of the Interfaith Circle. I have worked with people who embrace a range of belief systems, including Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Jews, people who embrace 12 Step Spirituality and those who are agnostic.
