Special interests : I am passionate about working with couples and young adults; I enjoy supporting clients working through issues related to spirituality, sexuality, identity and trauma.

Mass of the Holy Spirit at Seattle University. We wish our students a fantastic year!

“The first Mass of the Holy Spirit took place in 1548 at the first Jesuit school in Messina, Sicily. As we come together in this unique time and place, we join our prayers with countless other teachers and learners throughout history, asking God to bless all the ways we seek and find wisdom. In trust, we place all the endeavors of this new academic year under the Spirits guidance.”
