About Officiant

As a board-certified chaplain, licensed pastoral counselor, and ordained minister since 2020, I bring a deep sense of purpose, compassion, and professionalism to every ceremony I officiate. With years of experience guiding individuals and couples through life’s most meaningful moments, I consider it a true honor to help create ceremonies that reflect the unique love stories, values, and spiritual traditions of each couple I serve.

Whether you envision a traditional religious service, a contemporary celebration, or something entirely your own, I offer personalized, thoughtful officiating that speaks to your heart and the journey you share. My background in pastoral counseling and chaplaincy allows me to approach each couple with warmth, understanding, and sensitivity—ensuring your wedding day is not only beautiful, but deeply meaningful.

What inspires me most about this work is the privilege of standing beside two people as they make one of life’s most sacred commitments. Witnessing the joy, vulnerability, and hope that fill that moment reminds me—every single time—of the power of love to transform lives. It’s more than a ceremony; it’s a holy encounter, and I’m deeply honored to be a part of it.

I believe that love is sacred, marriage is a profound commitment, and every couple deserves a ceremony that celebrates their bond in a way that feels authentic and unforgettable.

As a board-certified chaplain, I’ve been trained to serve people from all walks of life—regardless of their faith background, cultural traditions, or personal beliefs. That means when I step into the role of a wedding officiant, I bring with me a deep respect for the sacredness of your story, and a professional, compassionate presence that’s grounded in real experience.

My certification means I adhere to high ethical standards, continuous education, and intentional care—so you can trust that your ceremony will be handled with the utmost professionalism, warmth, and personal attention.

Recipient of Master of Divinity degree (w/ focus on Counseling); graduating with honors magna cum laude.

My Master of Divinity degree has prepared me for success in the wedding officiant capacity via equipping me with valuable skills such as understanding biblical principles and marriage preparation guidance to ensure that your wedding is officiated ideally.

As an ordained minister, I have the legal authority and spiritual grounding to officiate weddings—but more than that, I bring a deep sense of purpose and calling to every ceremony I lead.

Ordination means I’ve been formally recognized and entrusted to guide people through life’s most sacred moments. When it comes to weddings, that includes not just speaking the words or signing the license—but creating a ceremony that reflects the love, commitment, and values you hold most dear.

Whether you're looking for a faith-based service, a spiritual but non-religious ceremony, or something entirely unique, my role as an ordained minister allows me to meet you where you are. I honor all traditions and belief systems, and I’m committed to making your ceremony meaningful, inclusive, and true to you.

Clinical Pastoral Education Student

Assoc. for Clinical Pastoral Edu.

My training in Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) has shaped the heart of how I serve as a wedding officiant. CPE is an intensive, hands-on program that focuses on developing spiritual care skills, emotional intelligence, and the ability to be fully present with people during some of life’s most significant moments.

So how does that translate to weddings?

It means I approach each ceremony with deep listening, sensitivity, and a commitment to honoring your story. I’ve been trained to support people of all faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds—and to hold space for both the joy and complexity that come with major life transitions like marriage.

Because of my CPE background, I don’t just lead ceremonies—I help create a space that feels safe, meaningful, and grounded. Whether you're blending cultures, navigating family dynamics, or simply wanting something personal and heartfelt, I’m here to guide the process with compassion, professionalism, and care.

Your wedding day deserves more than just a script—it deserves presence, connection, and a ceremony that reflects who you truly are. That’s what CPE has equipped me to offer.
