  I received my MA in Soul Care as a spiritual director and coach at Biola University's Institute for Spiritual Formation and have 12 years of experience operating in my personal calling as "an Archeologist of the Heart." As an archeologist of the heart, I help others find the buried treasure within - the gift of the self - that is longing to emerge, even through seasons of pain and confusion.
  
  As someone who has encountered my own seasons of pain and confusion, it is my passion to help individuals heal from past narratives in order to find their deep-seated purpose, hopes, desires and dreams. Oftentimes, I find that life circumstances and especially pain can bury those treasures. But, with God and others' help, we can unearth our soul's beauty once again. This happens by finding meaning in our past, noticing God at work in our present and anticipating the good he has in store for our future.
  
  I'd love to journey with you to integrate your past, present and future - to make sense of your story, find sparks of the Divine in your current circumstances and rewrite your future with the pen strokes of hope.  By the end of our season together, I hope you will feel healed, awake and empowered to live out your deepest purpose, with clarity and intention.
