A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Spiritual Direction
In our fast-paced lifestyles, there is often little time and space to pause and pay attention to the movements of God. In spiritual direction, we will attend more deeply to the presence of God and help you grow in your capacity to participate in the ongoing work He is doing in your life. We might examine your view of God, discerning God’s will, growing in intimacy with God, burnout, decision-making, grief, faith deconstruction/reconstruction, your experience of prayer, feelings of shame and guilt, and any places you might be feeling stuck or stunted in your relationship with God. This usually involves meeting about once a month for an hour and involves silence, guided prayer, and scripture meditation. We will trust the Holy Spirit to guide us, who knows you completely and loves you beyond measure.
I have received extensive training, earning a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care from Talbot’s Institute for Spiritual Formation, along with a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary. Although I do not offer mental health services at this time, my training as a psychotherapist was instrumental in equipping me with a trauma-informed perspective. This impacts how I engage with those in my care and helps me refer when needed. In addition to my practice as a spiritual director, I also serve as an adjunct faculty member at Biola University. I see directees both in person and over zoom. If you would like to contact me for private or group spiritual direction, or leading retreats see my contact page for more information. I am not always able to take on new directees. An excellent resource for finding a spiritual director in your area is: https://www.graftedlife.org/csda/home/
