Spiritual Direction
Deepen Your Christian Spiritual Formation Through Personalized Spiritual Companionship
Are you seeking clarity in your faith journey? Do you long to hear God's voice more clearly in your daily life? Are you seeking a deeper faith formation?
As a Christian companion, I listen to you and the Holy Spirit. Together, we pay attention to what the Father is doing in your life as you share your story and your walk with Jesus. Each session is a time for deep listening, prayer, and conversation, all while we look for the presence and activity of God in your life.
After 22 years of military service as including many years as a Navy Chaplain, and other ministry roles, I have worked in pastoral leadership with people for more than two decades. My approach is grounded in authentic calling and spiritual depth.
I completed my training in spiritual direction through the Denver Seminary Spiritual Direction Graduate Certificate program.
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.” - Current directee.
Your only commitment is to show up, ready to listen to God’s voice.

What I Believe
The Nicene Creed
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.

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.
