Holding Space for Your Spirit: Spiritual Direction
What is Spiritual Direction?
​
-
Deep Listening: I listen to your experiences, yearnings, heartbreak, and wonderings, with compassion and curiosity. We explore where the spirit is moving in your life, and where it may feel stuck.
​​​
-
Embracing the Journey We focus on the process of exploration and growth, rather than rushing to fix problems. Together, we explore where you are in your spiritual journey and what lessons lie within your current experiences.

Life-Giving Practices: Together, we uncover what practices and boundaries might protect and strengthen your inner light, helping you shine brighter as you move forward.

Who I Work With
​
I work with people from all walks of life, including those who identify as “spiritual but not religious,” agnostic, atheist, or those on any other spiritual path. My approach is inclusive and supportive, welcoming individuals of all backgrounds, and I’m proudly affirming of GBLTQ identities.
