I am an Episcopal priest with extensive experience in pastoral care and rehabilitative therapy. I have served in hospital emergency rooms and canine therapy programs - I have seen and felt the transformative power of healing touch in both humans and animals.

My ministry is a unique blend of Christian spirituality, pastoral counseling, and rehabilitation.

In 2017, I moved from Chicago to Valparaiso, Indiana to live on a farm where I care for animals on the livestock conservation list including donkeys, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks and dogs.

I also serve in a variety of capacities at several nearby Episcopal churches.

Peaceable Kingdom Retreats is the culmination of my callings - a sacred space where the presence of animals helps with human healing, and human interaction supports creation care.
