As a spiritual companion to individuals, I help them to notice the what is happening in their deepest, essential self, which some may call the soul landscape. We do this through being deeply present to what is. As director, I serve as a supporting guide, asking deepening questions in order to cultivate a greater inner awareness on a journey of expanded soul consciousness.
CODE OF ETHICS
In order to best companion others, I adhere to the Spiritual Directors International Code of Ethics, receive spiritual direction myself, and attend a spiritual directors peer group.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are Sessions Confidential? Yes, all sessions are considered confidential, unless the safety of the individual is in question. Referrals for other services, such as counseling, may be made as needed.
Is Spiritual Direction the same as Counseling? No, these are separate practices. Counseling is more prescriptive and outcome-based. Spiritual direction works with the heart and inner-knowing, cultivating the spiritual life through deep presence. The process is the point and individuals often experience deep transformation. However, spiritual direction can be a great supplement to counseling. Some individuals wish for their Spiritual Directors and Counselors to be in communication in order to best serve the client. In this case, a Release of Information Form can be used.
Do I need to be religious to receive Spiritual Direction? No, every person has a spiritual life, just as they have an emotional or mental or physical aspect of their being. Belief systems may be helpful for some, but they can also hinder if attachments to beliefs form. Spiritual Direction is a journey to the deepest parts of us, beyond beliefs, where true transformation and freedom can occur. That place is in each of us.
Where do sessions take place? I have a home office where I see people for sessions, but I can also meet people virtually. Some of my work is international.
How often should I receive Spiritual Direction? Typically, sessions are held monthly. However, it’s important to note that the spiritual journey is taking place every moment of every day. The sessions help tend to what has been happening within the life of the client.
What should I talk about? You already know, even if your mind has not realized it. I will help support you in identifying where our focus needs to be. We are present to what is.

*TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE - For me, this means giving each spiritual direction client a map of where we are going and explaining clearly what we are doing. Everything from there happens by invitation.
