There are as many different approaches to spiritual direction as there are spiritual directors! I have been trained in the Ignatian tradition which emphasizes discernment: awareness of God’s presence and the journey towards inner freedom that comes with this awareness. I have found that fidelity to my own contemplative prayer life is the best way to continue to learn and grow so that I can be more fully present with clients.

Most people meet about once a month, however some people especially ask to meet more frequently. A session is about an hour.

That depends primarily on the client, and can vary quite a bit. Usually we start with silence/prayer. Clients are free to bring what is of most concern presently in their lives; this is often, though not always, where they may be experiencing some desolation and are struggling. Other times we explore what is happening during prayer time, inner movements, places of consolation and freedom. Other times a client simply tells the story of their life and we explore ways God is present. We might spend some moments in silence to help deepen our listening to the Spirit. I always strive to create and hold a sacred space of listening and acceptance.

An hour session is $80.00. I do not turn people away due to financial constraints. Please ask if you need financial assistance.
