A significant portion of my clients seek guidance from someone who understands the perspectives of spirituality and religion and how it connects to their individual experiences, challenges, frustrations, and interests. Whether you are already connected to a particular religion or spiritual path, navigating questions, obstacles, or past traumas stemming from your religious upbringing, or curious about beginning a spiritual practice, I can help. I offer a compassionate presence that helps you deepen your relationship with yourself and others, explore new ideas, challenge existing ones, and simply offer a non-judgmental listening ear.
I am a trained spiritual director. No matter your belief system, spiritual or religious background, or past experience, I strive to offer a space where everyone feels included (you too, atheists and agnostics!) I embrace sexual and gender diversity and extend a warm welcome to people of all ages.
Spiritual Direction involves working with a person trained in deep listening who offers you unconditional acceptance and the opportunity to express your whole self. There’s no need to be a perfect saint here… come as you are. This is a setting where you can discover, learn, and grow in your personal spirituality, or even wrestle with or challenge it.

Spiritual Direction is distinct from therapy or counseling. Unlike traditional psychotherapy, our sessions focus on deepening your connection with your inner self and exploring the spiritual dimensions of your life. I do not diagnose conditions; instead, I offer compassionate support to help you uncover your own strengths and innate wisdom.
