As a spiritual care provider, my work weaves together theology, clinical social work, and oral history to explore the art and ethics of care. I seek to illuminate the sacred that is always present, especially in thresholds of suffering and in institutional spaces.

I am pursuing a Master of Divinity at Union Theological Seminary and a Master of Social Work at Hunter College, with special attention to liberation theologies and healthcare chaplaincy. I have completed two units of Clinical Pastoral Education with MJHS Hospice, where I provided spiritual care to patients and families in their homes, in hospitals, and nursing homes throughout NYC; and Maimonides Medical Center, where I provided crisis care in the emergency, psychiatry, and oncology departments. I have received training and certification in Spiritual Direction from Still Harbor, an organization that centers spiritual care in the pursuit of collective liberation. I hold a BA in Sociology and Anthropology from Lewis & Clark College, where I focused on anthropology of medicine, suffering, and healing.

My work is deeply informed by oral history values and ethics. With training from Suzanne Snider and Oral History Summer School, I coordinated oral history intensives, facilitated workshops in New York State prisons with Arts in Corrections New York State, conducted interviews for the Hudson Area Library and Community Library of Voice and Sound, and transcribed interviews for a Johns Hopkins University project about the field of bioethics.

I am inspired by contemplative traditions and practices, including Christian mysticism, Zen Buddhism, listening, and singing.

I am currently accepting new spiritual direction clients.
