My Educational background includes a Masters of Divinity from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC and a Masters of Science in Pastoral Counseling from Loyola College in Columbia, Maryland. Over the last five years I have held a Professional Counselor license in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Delaware. I am also a Fellow in the American Association of Pastoral Counselors and a former member of the Conflict Transformation Taskforce of the Baltimore/Washington Conference of the United Methodist Church.

I previously served as Executive Director of the Washington Pastoral Counseling Service and spent over 20 years in parish ministry as an ordained United Methodist. For over ten years I have facilitated clergy case conference and teleconference groups and provided executive coaching to clergy.
