Spiritual Direction
Deepen Your Christian Spiritual Formation Through Personalized Spiritual Companionship
Are you seeking clarity in your faith journey? Are you seeking deeper discernment? Do you long to hear God's voice more clearly in your daily life? Are you seeking a deeper faith formation?
Gordon Smith writes,
Spiritual direction rests on a critical and fundamental assumption: God is good and fundamentally benevolent toward all that he has made. Thus spiritual direction is a ministry that fosters the capacity to live in awareness of the goodness of God: “For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations” (Ps 100:5).
I listen to you and the Holy Spirit as a fellow apprentice of Jesus. Together, we pay attention to what the Father is doing in your life as you share your story and your walk with Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Each session is a time for deep listening, prayer, and conversation, as we look for God's presence and activity in your life.
As a spiritual director, it is my joy to walk with anyone seeking a deeper, sustaining walk with Christ. I welcome all who desire spiritual direction and a closer walk with Jesus.
I completed my training in spiritual direction through the Denver Seminary Spiritual Direction Graduate Certificate program, am a member of the Christ-Centered Spiritual Direction Association, and partner with LifePoint Resources, Practice Collective, Barnabas International, and Companioning Center to offer spiritual direction.
Every spiritual director brings a theological center to the work - a foundational understanding of who God is, who we are, and what it means to be in relationship with the Triune God.
My spiritual center is my belief that the Triune God desires an abiding, personal relationship with every person. My faith is rooted in the ancient faith of the church, summarized in the Nicene Creed, words Christians across the centuries and traditions have prayed together.
I would be honored to walk with you, together experiencing the transformative power of journeying closely with God.
“Being in spiritual direction has significantly strengthened my spiritual growth while encouraging deep reflection. I truly value having someone who listens deeply and provides meaningful feedback during challenging times. Having someone to process life’s difficulties with has been encouraging, and I’m grateful for our continuing direction.:

Spiritual Direction:
We start with a check-in, and then I ask about your soul's state. After you share, often, we'll observe silence and pray before exploring what you bring to the session. I will ask you evocative, introspective questions and stay mostly quiet, providing space for your spiritual journey with occasional gentle observations.
