Susan serves with Soul Shepherding as a Spiritual Director, Spiritual direction certificate training supervisor, and Enneagram Coach.

She has been a practicing physician in diagnostic radiology for the last 30 years. She also has been serving in various ministries for the past 25 years. In the last 12 years, Susan has been serving at Newsong Church in Santa Ana, California as a coach, teacher, and inner healing minister with the Sola Dei Healing Prayer Ministry and Encouraging Word Prayer Ministry.

Susan was introduced to the Soul Shepherding Institute after meeting with Kristi Gaultiere for spiritual direction while experiencing burnout. The Institute has been a huge part of her own inner healing journey since then. Susan’s years of experience in inner healing ministry were enriched by her training at Soul Shepherding’s Spiritual Direction Training program. She enjoys incorporating inner healing prayer into spiritual direction and seeing how this helps her clients experience deep and lasting change. She also enjoys incorporating enneagram coaching in spiritual direction.  She has seen that growing self-knowledge helps her clients to grow in intimacy with God.

Susan and her husband live in Orange Country, California, and have 2 grown children.
