Brief statement

I am a Chaplain at Eskenazi Health, a Level 1 Trauma Hospital in Indianapolis. I have worked in general medical hospitals, a psych hospital, a children's hospital, hospices and have been a pastor. My continued work with trauma, grief and suffering and my own use of creative media are part of my work as a Spiritual Director. Doing something creative sometimes helps us heal and helps us "right our world" in the midst of grief, trauma and stress.
