Spiritual direction is a soul care ministry that is grounded in Scripture and has deep roots in church history. Today, spiritual direction is experiencing a revival in evangelical Christianity as people seek to deepen their life with God.

 

My job as a spiritual director is to create an intentional and open space for you to reflect on your life, story, faith, questions, doubts, and how God works within it all.

 

Together, we seek new and deeper ways of connecting with the love of Jesus.

Let's Connect

Trauma-Informed Soul Care

 

Because I am also a licensed therapist, I approach spiritual direction through a trauma-informed lens. This means we don't have to be afraid to encounter your story, patterns, stuck places, and trauma in spiritual direction.

 

This approach establishes a sense of safety with God as you pursue spiritual maturity and growth in Christlikeness. It also allows us to continue seeking depth and clarity with God, even when we intersect with harder things in your story and life.

 

FAQ

 

I'm struggling in my faith, is spiritual direction the right place for me?

Yes! Spiritual direction is the perfect place to sort through hard things with God. Often as we engage questions, the Holy Spirit offers clarity and reorientation to help bring you back into alignment with God.

 

 

How often should I schedule spiritual direction sessions?

Spiritual direction sessions usually happen every 4-6 weeks.

 

 

Can I talk about a current problem I have?

Sure! Many people come into spiritual direction with a current issue weighing them down. We'll focus our time exploring where God is in the problem, what He's doing within it, and how He might be inviting you to trust Him more with the issue.

 

 

Do you offer spiritual direction for non-Christians?

Unfortunately, no. My training and my own personal faith are firmly oriented towards Jesus and the historical roots of Christianity. It would be very difficult for me to help you explore other spiritual paths.

 

 

 

What's the difference between therapy and spiritual direction?

This is a common question! Since I am a licensed therapist and a spiritual director, these lines often intersect.

In general, spiritual direction maintains a focus on faith and deepening your spiritual life with God. Therapy often focuses more on problems and mental health concerns. Here's a blog post I wrote to help you discern which one might be best for you. The table below outlines some of the differences.
