Your spiritual life doesn’t need to come with a rulebook.
Maybe you’re here because…
You believe in something greater than yourself, but traditional religion no longer feels like home.
Maybe you’ve stepped away from church, but you haven’t necessarily stepped away from the Divine.
Maybe you’re questioning beliefs you once accepted, or you’re simply longing for a spiritual life that feels authentic—one that isn’t dictated by someone else’s rules, expectations, or ideas about what you should believe.
Maybe you’ve been hurt by the church or a spiritual mentor or an important person in your life. Maybe you’ve experienced a profound loss. Maybe you’ve got a big decision to make and you can’t seem to trust yourself to figure it out. And sometimes the question is even simpler: Why does God feel so silent?
Perhaps you call it God. The Divine. Spirit. The Universe. Your Higher Power. Or maybe you aren’t quite sure what you want to call “the Other” or if it’s even there.
You just know you’re longing for something deeper—and you don’t want to figure it out alone.
Or maybe something simply feels important.
Maybe you have a question or you’re facing a big decision. Should I marry this person? Should I take the job? Why do I keep praying about this and hearing nothing? What am I supposed to do next?
Or maybe it's harder to explain.
You watched a flock of birds rise into the sky and felt something you can't quite name. You stood before a mountain and were suddenly overwhelmed with awe or maybe you started crying for no reason. You noticed something small or strange—a coincidence, an encounter, even a dead bird beside your car—and for some reason, you can't stop thinking about it.
Or perhaps something enormous has happened. Someone you love died. You received a frightening diagnosis. A relationship ended. The life you thought you were going to have suddenly changed and you’re sensing there’s something else you can’t answer or solve for in grief therapy. Maybe you’re wondering about the afterlife and you don’t know who to talk to about it.
Maybe you need answers from a source bigger than yourself. You may call what you're sensing God. The Divine. Intuition. Mystery. Meaning. Or you may have absolutely no idea what to call it.
You simply have the sense that something here matters. That is enough.
Sometimes the things that stir us most deeply deserve our attention —even when we don't yet understand why.
If you’ve had an experience like this, you can explore more about what spiritual direction might offer here.
Spiritual Direction is the sacred practice of holding space for presence, deep listening, and exploration. It is here where you, the Divine, and I meet together.
You are invited to slow down and notice how you are invited to slow down and pay attention to what may be stirring beneath the surface of your life—meaning, longing, connection, questions, and perhaps the presence of something greater than yourself. Your Higher Power may already be present and moving in your life—in your questions, daily experiences, relationships, longings, struggles, and even your uncertainty.
As your spiritual director, I serve as a companion as you explore and deepen your own spiritual relationship. I may offer reflection, thoughtful questions, discernment, compassion, or simply the space to sit with something that deserves your attention.
I am not here to tell you what to believe or what your spiritual life should look like. This is your relationship with the Divine, not mine.
Spiritual direction creates space for greater awareness, clarity, connection, and over time, the possibility of meaningful transformation.

What is Spiritual Direction?
Your spirituality is uniquely yours.
Throughout this website, I use words like the Divine and Higher Power, but those words are intentionally spacious.
Your understanding of a Higher Power might be the Trinitarian God, Spirit, the Universe, Mother Earth, something sacred you don’t yet have words for—or something you are still discovering.
You do not need to belong to a church, follow a particular religion, or arrive with a clearly defined belief system to enter spiritual direction.
My role is not to give you my beliefs or lead you toward a particular spiritual path. My role is to companion you as you discover and deepen the spiritual life that is authentic and meaningful to you.
Gentle, Curious and Compassionate
You don't need to arrive with the right words, the right beliefs, or even a clear idea of what you're looking for. You are welcome to bring your questions, doubts, longings, frustrations, contradictions, and uncertainty.
I won't rush you toward answers.
Instead, we'll become curious together—paying attention to what is stirring within you and noticing where the Divine might be present, even in places where you weren't expecting to find it.
My Approach
Grounded in reality
I believe our spiritual lives happen in the middle of our actual lives.
Our relationships. Our work. Our bodies. Our losses. Our joys. Our moments of wonder. Our disappointments. Our choices. Our questions. The things we wish were different and the things we're learning to accept.
Spiritual direction doesn't require escaping ordinary life to find something sacred. Together, we pay attention to where meaning, connection, and the Divine may already be emerging within it.
I especially enjoy accompanying people who are grieving, feeling lost, questioning what they once believed, experiencing a life or faith transition, or simply sensing that the spiritual life they've inherited no longer fits.
Comfortable with the unanswered
One of the gifts I bring to this work is the ability to enter suffering and sit with it without needing to fix it, explain it, or make it go away. I believe there are experiences in life that don't need an immediate answer. Sometimes they need to be witnessed.
I can sit with uncertainty. I can sit with grief. I can sit with anger, doubt, contradiction, and questions about the Divine that don't resolve neatly.
You don't need to protect me from the difficult parts of your story, and you don't need to make your experience spiritually tidy.
It matters deeply to me that another person knows: You do not have to be alone in this.
What I bring to the room
I am naturally curious and deeply interested in people's stories. I listen carefully, remember details, notice patterns, and ask thoughtful questions that invite us beneath the surface.
I bring empathy, sensitivity, imagination, creativity, courage, hospitality, and a genuine desire to understand rather than judge.
I also bring my own humanity.
I'm an introvert who values quiet and reflection. I love nature, art, music, learning, beautiful spaces, mysteries, meaningful conversation—and also dancing, games, laughter, and fun.
Spiritual life, after all, isn't only found in the serious moments. The sacred can meet us in joy, beauty, laughter, play, and delight, too.
