ABOUT SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
Church is not the only sacred space, and the Bible is not the only holy text; your own living room and the text of your life are also sacred. Spiritual Direction gives you the opportunity to connect with God right where you are.
In spiritual direction, I hold (sacred) space for you to discover God’s holy presence in all areas of life. No question, doubt or feeling is off-limits. As we practice the counter-cultural act of deep listening, you will be met with compassion, curiosity and confidentiality.
Whether you are making a big decision, re-examining and re-shaping your faith, or looking for healthy spiritual practices, I am here to be your spiritual companion.
