There comes a moment—sometimes quiet, sometimes undeniable—when the way you’ve been living no longer feels like enough. You might not have words for it yet. Just a sense. A stirring. A hunger for something deeper.

Maybe you’ve always had a spiritual life, but the old frameworks don’t quite hold anymore. Or perhaps your bookshelf is full of books on transformation, awakening, or the Enneagram—but what you’re longing for isn’t more information. It’s connection. Integration. A way to live what your heart is beginning to know.

This is where spiritual direction comes in.

Spiritual direction isn’t about someone giving you answers. It’s about sacred companionship—someone walking alongside you as you begin to notice the subtle threads of the divine woven through your daily life. A spiritual director is like a midwife for the soul, helping you bring to birth what’s already within you.

But this is your journey. And it asks something of you.

To engage in spiritual direction is to commit to your own inner work. It means showing up with honesty and a willingness to be present to yourself. I will be a guidepost, a mirror, a witness—but you are the one who must take the steps. The path unfolds as you walk it.

You might be entering what Richard Rohr calls “the second half of life”—a season where success or certainty no longer satisfy, and something more meaningful is calling. Or you might be in the thick of career questions, faith questions, or a major life transition that’s cracked something open. Either way, you sense that now is the time to listen more closely.

For some, the shift comes with deconstruction—a shedding of old beliefs that no longer ring true. You may find yourself no longer at home in the church or community that once held you. You may feel alone in your questions. But you’re not alone. There are many of us on this path, and spiritual direction offers a space to be heard, held, and gently guided as you begin to rebuild a faith that feels honest and whole.

You might not even call it faith anymore. Maybe it’s just a yearning. An ache for more. A desire to feel awake, alive, and anchored to something real.

If any of this sounds familiar, you may be ready to begin the practice of spiritual direction. Not as a quick fix, but as a commitment to your own unfolding. A space to breathe, listen, and return to the deeper wisdom already alive in you.

Sessions are typically once a month, though in the beginning, you may want more time to settle into the rhythm. Every session is grounded in sacred listening, deep presence, and your unique spiritual path.

When you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk with you.
