Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction

Spiritual direction is a one-on-one time that you set aside to tend your inner life and explore the parts of your story that are meaningful to you. A spiritual director listens alongside you, and brings awareness to your own interior wisdom. I like to think of this relationship as a companion in the wilderness— both the dark, dense forests and the wide clearings —pointing out the cairn that leads along the path, or drawing your attention to something you might otherwise walk past.

Spiritual Direction is not therapy, but it can be therapeutic. We may explore topics that are similar to those covered in counseling, but the role of a spiritual director is not curative. It is a contemplative time, an opportunity to notice. Instead of problem solving or changing behavior, we simply listen. Together we explore moments, emotions, experiences, or interactions that bring awareness to the sacred within us and in the world.

Though my background and spiritual upbringing are rooted in the Christian tradition, my approach to Spiritual Direction is more universal, encompassing any religious or spiritual leanings, or none at all. I am joining you in your personal awareness. During our first session we can get to know one another and talk more about what you are seeking through our time together.

Session are offered online or in-person, including walking or hiking sessions.
