INDIVIDUAL GUIDANCE
for Spiritual Growth & Discernment
Meeting for individual guidance will help you cultivate the ability to be at home in yourself and in God. I will support you in returning to your deepest knowing that you are good, beloved, and here in this world for a reason.
Discerning God’s Movement
Spiritual Direction involves meeting with a companion (in this case, me) on a regular basis to discern God’s movement in your life. Each person’s session looks different, as receiving guidance is a practice in responding to God’s Spirit (or however you identify divinity) dynamically at work in the present moment.
Continuing an Ancient Practice
While adapted to modern times, Spiritual Direction (also called Spiritual guidance or companionship) is an ancient practice. It is found in some form in every faith tradition. Christianity draws on the lineage including Jesus with his disciples, Desert Fathers and Mothers, Anchorites and Mystics, monastic communities, and priests with laity. Today people are bringing this skill of holy listening into their work as chaplains, therapists, and varying roles as faith leaders.
As a Spiritual Director, I come alongside you to discern God’s presence in your life, where the Spirit is moving, and what this movement might be inviting you into.
Addressing a Spiritual Need
Spiritual Direction can help you see your life’s journey from a spiritual perspective, bringing clarity to your course of action and pathways to your soul’s growth. Unlike other modalities, Spiritual Direction focuses on addressing your spiritual need and allows God’s Spirit to lead the process. While it doesn’t replace psychiatric care or medical treatments, it can be a helpful accompaniment.
Sharing in Deep Listening
As a Spiritual Director, my role is to create a sacred space for you to hear your own inner wisdom. We begin with a moment of silence. You are then invited to share whatever is at the forefront for you. I prayerfully listen to you and the Spirit, offering insight and guidance when needed. Together, we practice listening from a deeper, more spacious place.

Inner Growth Takes Time
Inner growth and healing take time, which is why each session is scheduled 3 to 4 weeks apart. Allowing some time between sessions empowers you to seek God first, foster resiliency, and learn to trust in your own inner wisdom. It also helps distinguish our Spiritual Direction relationship from other therapeutic models: your primary attachment is to God and I am a companion in your journey.
Continuing Your Journey
At any time, you are welcome to schedule another session or purchase a package and get one free. Spiritual Direction can be done for a specific period of time (like in discerning a life transition) or for extended periods (like for ongoing spiritual growth and self-understanding). You may also decide your journey is complete at this time, and discontinue or take a break. I will continue to be available to you should a need arise.
