A reverent collaborator and officiant for children and adults, 

honoring the sacred with skill and appreciation for the exquisite range of human experience, energy and emotion, and points of sensing the divine

I'm a good friend and creative artist,  seminary trained and clinically supervised, ordained, endorsed and certified to witness and affirm people as they develop and experience their life, 

leaning into their own natural supports and cultural and/or faith community(s) for personal and professional coping, development and delight.

I am ordained by The United Methodist Church, Board Certified by The Association of Professional Chaplains; a practicing member with the Religious Naturalist Association; and a Soto Zen practitioner with Upaya Zen Center and Zen Mountain Monastery. I live in a small cooperative community in Philadelphia with my spouse, 2 kids, hound dog, and housemates. 

It is a privilege and grace for my life to live into a vocation of supportive accompaniment.
