What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual direction is a place to deepen your life with God and explore your truest identity in Christ. It is a place to process, listen, focus on God, and discern His voice and movement in your life.

 

My job as a spiritual director is to create an intentional and open space for you to reflect on your life, story, and faith. We'll stay curious, honor your questions, and look for God within it all.

 

Together, we seek the deeper ways of Jesus in your life.

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, or pain in spiritual direction.

 

Trauma-informed spiritual direction establishes a sense of safety as you pursue spiritual depth and grow in Christlikeness. A trauma-informed approach also allows us to seek depth and clarity with God, even when we intersect with harder things in your story and life.

 

That being said, Spiritual Direction is different than therapy. If you're curious about whether Christian therapy might be a better fit for you, I'm happy to discuss the differences with you.

 

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 God and your faith into focus in a new way.

 

 

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 what God is doing with the problem, and how He might be trying to get your attention in this issue.

 

 

Is it ok if we talk about "nontraditional" things? I don't know where else to talk about my (dreams, visions, supernatural experiences, etc.).

Yes, I am familiar with and comfortable with all elements of the Christian faith, from the prophetic realm to spiritual warfare, supernatural things, and everything in between.

 

 

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 focuses on your faith and deepening your spiritual life with God (which often includes exploring your own story and life). Therapy often (but not always) focuses more on problems and mental health concerns. Here is a blog post about therapy vs. spiritual direction to help you discern which one might be best for you. The table below also outlines some of the differences.
