Spiritual direction is a conversation focused on your relationship with God, or your longing to rediscover it. It’s a time set apart to listen together for how the Spirit might be at work in your life.

You bring your questions, experiences, doubts, or desires.
I offer presence, reflection, and prayerful listening.

It’s not therapy or advice-giving. It’s a sacred, attentive space to notice and respond to God’s movement in your story.

We meet for 50 minutes, usually once or twice a month. You come with whatever is on your heart—joy, confusion, resistance, longing—and we listen together for what might be unfolding beneath the surface.

Sometimes we’re quiet. Sometimes we name what’s felt but not yet spoken.
Often, we notice patterns, promptings, or invitations that help clarify where you are and how God might be drawing near.

While spiritual direction may touch on emotional or psychological realities, its primary focus is your spiritual life—your connection with God, meaning, and your own soul.

If you're processing trauma, mental health struggles, or relational breakdowns, therapy may well be the right support and I will refer you to a trusted therapist in your area.

That said, spiritual direction can complement therapy well, especially when you're exploring where God is in the midst of it all.

Coaching often focuses on setting goals, problem-solving, and practical strategies to move you forward in your career or personal life. It’s action-oriented and typically future-focused.

Spiritual direction, on the other hand, is less about fixing or achieving and more about listening deeply—to God, to your soul, and to the movements beneath the surface of your life. It’s about cultivating awareness of how the sacred is present in everyday moments, even amid struggle or uncertainty.

While coaching bends toward “What do you want to do?” spiritual direction bends toward, “Who is God calling you to be?” and “How is your soul being invited to grow?” Both can be valuable, and even overlap in some areas but they serve different needs.

Spiritual direction isn’t about quick fixes or clear-cut answers (however frustrating that is!) It’s a process of slow, often subtle growth.

You might find yourself more aware of the inner movements of your soul—your hopes, fears, longings, and resistance. You might notice patterns that were invisible before or experience a greater sense of peace amid uncertainty.

Sometimes it opens new doors—a fresh sense of calling, a shift in perspective, or a deeper connection to God or your own inner wisdom.

Other times, it simply offers the gift of being seen and heard in your unique place, which can be healing in itself.

Over time, many find that their way of being in the world becomes more honest, resilient, and alive, even if it looks different from what they expected.

Yes. Here are a few books I often recommend:

• The Way of the Heart by Henri Nouwen

• Surrender to Love by David Benner

• Where Prayer Becomes Real by John Coe and Kyle Strobel

• When the Well Runs Dry by Thomas Green
