My Story

“Spiritual direction is an interpersonal relationship in which we learn how to grow, live, and love in the spiritual life.”
—Richard Foster

Still Waters Soul Care LLC is the fruition of a lifelong journey and the fulfillment of a decade’s dream. It follows decades of church staff ministry in which I actually practiced many of the spiritual rhythms of soul care personally and with others. I now want to focus on my core passion of accompanying others in discovering the unfathomable depth of God’s love for them.

Through a time of deep personal struggle, ministry burnout and recovery, I came to realize the importance of knowing God’s steadfast love for me not only in my head, but deeply in my heart. This life-changing period led me on the path I am now traveling. 

I am single and enjoy time with my extended family of two sisters and a brother as well as nieces and nephews and their kids. I look forward to reuniting with my parents and older sister in heaven one day. I love time with friends, adventure and meeting new people, Alabama college football, laughing, reading, beauty and travel. My travels to twenty-four different countries for ministry, brings me the realization that we all seek to know the meaning and purpose of our lives. I desire to bring the fullness of my life’s journey to assist others in this discovery. If you want more information, please reach out to me.

Education & Experience:
My educational and career journey followed a circuitous path. I received a B.A. in French (University of Alabama), a Masters in Christian Education (Reformed Theological Seminary), a Doctorate of Ministry in Women in Ministry (Gordon Conwell Seminary) and a certificate from a two-year Soul Care Institute program. I taught high school in both France and the U.S. before serving in the offices of a U. S. Congressman and a Senator. I invested thirty-eight years in church staff ministry and consulting in six different churches as well as the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination before retiring to create Still Waters Soul Care.
