Spiritual Direction & Companionship
Spiritual direction is a unique, transformative process designed to help you sense and understand God’s presence and movement in your life, bringing greater clarity, freedom, and purpose. Unlike counseling or life coaching, spiritual direction is not about focusing on behavioral goals or cognitive therapy; rather, it’s about deepening your awareness of the sacred and exploring how to live with meaning. As your spiritual director, I create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore your spiritual questions, find encouragement in times of uncertainty, and discern what truly matters to you. If you feel called to look deeper into the spiritual aspects of life, I would be honored to walk this journey with you.
