Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is a form of sacred companionship that helps you deepen in your experience of God’s love (or Divine Love) and grow in self-awareness, helping you to become more rooted and in authentic alignment with your Creator, your soul, and the world around you.

Spiritual direction can be helpful for anyone desiring a deeper relationship with God (or their preferred name for the Divine Presence). It can also be particularly helpful for individuals in seasons of transition or discernment, those processing grief or loss, or for those reimagining what faith or spirituality looks like for them now.

A spiritual direction session is a form of prayer in and of itself. In this hour, we have a “conversation of three” between us and the Spirit, who is the true director.

Sessions generally begin with silence and/or a guided contemplative prayer practice. You may bring something specific you’d like to open our conversation with, or you may simply see what emerges for you from within the opening silence or practice.

Our prayerful conversation follows a relaxed pace, with ample pauses to process, reflect, and receive from God. I offer gentle observations and questions, following the lead of both you and the Spirit. I recommend bringing a journal to write down anything significant that arises for you during the session.

Typically, we close in prayer and then take a few minutes to schedule our next session.

No - spiritual direction is not the same as mental health therapy or pastoral counseling. Spiritual direction is centered around noticing God’s invitations and your response to them, as opposed to problem-solving issues in one’s life or working towards achieving mental health objectives. Spiritual direction should never be used as an alternative to mental health therapy, but can be an excellent complementary form of care alongside it.

My approach to spiritual direction is contemplative, evocative, gentle, spacious, trauma-sensitive, and rooted in hope, compassion, and dignity.

I welcome women of all identities, faith backgrounds, and life experiences.

I honor and appreciate that there are many ways to experience, relate to, and name the Divine Presence.

My personal walk of faith and my training in spiritual direction are both centered and rooted in Christ.

I find it a deep privilege and honor to be present to you and your unfolding journey, wherever and however you may find yourself right now.

If you are interested in exploring the possibility of beginning spiritual direction with me, I invite you to contact me to schedule a complimentary 30-minute chat. This conversation offers us both an opportunity to explore whether the relationship seems to be a good fit.

If we sense a good fit and you decide to continue, we may begin with regular 60-minute sessions. Typically, spiritual direction is scheduled on a rhythm of about once per month, for as long as the relationship proves fruitful. If you sense a different rhythm would better suit you (ex: biweekly, weekly), please feel free to discuss this with me. All sessions are conducted via Zoom.

Spiritual direction is $85 per 60-minute session, due the day of the session. Sliding scale options are also available; please feel free to inquire further if cost is a barrier to you.
