| Introduction | I coach people committed to living well with God, Self and Others. Called to serve people on a wide variety of paths, I support lay leaders and clergy alike as they live out commitments to such wellness. Frequent topics for individual coaching or teleclasses include: work/life balance; forgiveness, LGBTQ coming out, faith transitions, relationship transitions. I am an ordained American Baptist minister and a certified life coach. For twenty-five years, I've been on a journey of coming out, living well and trusting grace. |
