Spiritual Direction

“Spiritual Direction is the act of paying attention to God, calling attention to God, being attentive to God in a person or circumstances or a situation.... It notices the Invisibilities in and beneath and around the Visibilities. It listens for the Silences between the spoken Sounds.”  

Eugene H. Peterson

How do you know if spiritual direction is right for you?

  • Are you longing for more of God? To hear his voice and rest in his love?

  • Do you want to discover what purpose God is calling you to?

  • Is there a sense of confusion or stuckness in your spiritual life for which you are seeking discernment?

  • Would you like to spiritually heal from past wounds and hurts?

  • Are you feeling drawn toward spiritual practices you would like to integrate into your daily life?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I invite you to join me in the sacred space of spiritual direction.

As your Spiritual Director, I hope to partner with you and the Holy Spirit with our presence and attentiveness to the Spirit’s movement in your everyday life of faith.

Together we will listen, explore, discover, and celebrate how God is shaping you in his image and guiding you in the work of his kingdom.

We will utilize prayer, silence, scripture, discernment, and holy listening, among other spiritual practices, to grow and deepen your intimacy with Christ.

Things to know

  • Sessions can take place in person or online.

  • A typical session will last up to one hour.​

  • Form of payment is private pay.

  • Spiritual direction is not counseling. Spiritual direction is a sacred space to discern God’s movement in your life with the hope of deepening your relationship with God. Counseling is focused on diagnosis, symptoms, and resolving problems. There are some similarities, as both processes provide a safe confidential space, are open to discussion on all aspects of your life, and are filled with listening, discernment, and lots of good questions.

An invitation to receive

I remember the day I nervously walked across the parking lot to meet with a spiritual director for the first time. There was a lot of unknown about what this next hour might hold. And as a counselor, I am usually the one asking the questions. I almost turned to leave. 

However, the invitation that day to simply receive the space and focus on what God is up to in my own life was a gift. A space to pause and let the Holy Spirit stir my own heart drawing me closer to God. So good for my soul. 

I continue to sit with a spiritual director on a regular basis. Humility, accountability, and intentional reflection on God’s love encourage and stretch me as I seek to follow Jesus. 

Being a part of spiritual direction over the past several years has grown my own desire to provide this sacred space for you. My training as a Certified Spiritual Director has deepened my listening skills and expanded my ability to notice what the Holy Spirit might be up to.   

May you prayerfully consider joining me, so that you too may receive and uncover what is stirring in your own heart.
