Not answers. A quiet, honest space to notice.
Spiritual direction is not about being told what to believe or how to fix your life. It is a quiet, intentional space where you are invited to slow down and notice what is stirring within you; your thoughts, your emotions, your questions, and your experiences with the Divine. In our time together, I listen with you for the presence of God already at work in your life.
My Approach
My approach to spiritual direction is grounded in the belief that:
God is not distant, but deeply present and relational.
God honors our humanity and meets us within the reality of our lives.
Your experiences, especially the hard ones, are worthy of being explored without judgment.
You do not need to have everything figured out to be held in God’s love.
Healing and clarity unfold gently, not through pressure or performance.
I bring a trauma-informed lens to this work, honoring your story, your pace, and your autonomy. This is a space where you can be fully honest,whether that includes faith, doubt, anger, uncertainty, or a mix of many emotions.
"I became a spiritual director because I have seen how often people are wounded by organized religion."
Too many have been made to feel that they do not belong, cannot be fully themselves, or are somehow wrong. I believe God's love is unconditional, expansive, and available to everyone. This is not about advice, persuasion, or fitting into a specific belief system. It is about accompaniment, deep listening, and noticing how God may be moving in your life. Here, your full humanity is welcome.

What We Do Together
During sessions, we may:
Reflect on moments from your daily life.
Notice where you feel a connection to, resistance, or abosence of God's presence.
Sit with questions rather than rush to answers.
Explore how your understanding of God has been shaped over time.
Pay attention to what feel life-giving, grounding, or true.
Here, we hold the possibility that
God does not desire to cause harm or suffering.
God is present with you in your experience, especially in moments of pain and uncertainty.
Even when we do not understand why things happen, meaning and healing can gently unfold over time.
There is no agenda to fix or force meaning, only an invitation to notice and respond.
