About Jodi

For more than two decades, I have had the privilege to walk alongside individuals and communities as a Lutheran pastor serving congregations throughout California. This journey has given me deep insight into the unique challenges faces by those in ministry and anyone navigating seasons of overwhelm while searching for deeper meaning.

My Background

I hold a Master of Divinity from Pacific Theological Seminary, a Certificate in Pastoral Care from Fresno Pacific University, and four years of study in Bowen Systems Theory through the ELCA Natural Systems Academy. (Translation: I geek out on how relationships work and how we can all show up more authentically in them). I am a trained coach which means I have the tools to help you get unstuck and find your way to belonging.

“I have been working with Jodi as a life coach for almost a year. I wasn’t sure that I needed one, but I definitely was going through transitions in my life. Jodi listened empathetically, asked pointed questions and led me to much self discovery and insight. We all need healing and self reflection and a trained and empathetic professional to hold my hand was exactly what I needed. Jodi was it for me.”
