No shoulds, only this: I have a gift for a particular type of listening; the kind that helps us both hear what needs to be heard.

And this: Are you feeling a resonance with some of what I have expressed on my website? Resonance is an energy of attraction and attunement that occurs within you when something in you signals YES to something else. If you have no idea as to what I am talking about but feel interested, I invite you to make a one-time, free 15-minute appointment so we can experience how we are together. That appointment tends to answer the question about working together or not. There’s no obligation to work with me. I think of it as field research. We might feel very comfortable with each other, yet discover that a different Spiritual Director is a better fit for you. It’s all good information.

It’s important for me to say that Spiritual Direction has no hierarchy. The true director is that which you sense as guidance and presence inside yourself. Signs, words, signals and prompts abound outside of us, yet the true guiding resonance occurs inside oneself. Each of us is capable of inner recognition of something meant just for us at any given time. In fact, just to tell you something about my own spirituality: I would capitalize the words Loving Intelligence, because that descriptive really fits for me as another name for God as I experience God. Spiritual Direction is about how YOU experience God.

Sessions in Spiritual Guidance include plenty of conversation, silent pauses, deep listening, and whatever tools and activities feel inviting to both of us. Whether you are noticing a first nudge of curiosity about spiritual matters or you think a lot about GOD, you might try Spiritual Direction as a safe way to deepen and broaden, to give voice to questions, or just to find a way to hang on.

Some individuals want a single session, some want random sessions, and some come regularly.

Of course! I offer 15-minute complimentary conversations so that you and I can talk casually about the possibility of meeting for an actual session.

Simply select a time that works for you, share your name and email address, and I will respond by sending a link to my Zoom room where we can connect. It’s all easy. One click on the Zoom link at the agreed upon time, and we will find ourselves together in a virtual room. If you do not have private (or any) computer access, we can talk on the phone. I will send a reminder email the day prior to our appointment.

~If you feel curious, but not quite ready for a real-time talk, perhaps visit the two online resources at the bottom of this page and read more. Those who serve as spiritual directors are very diverse in personality, background and in the unique modalities they use to support you as the unique individual you are.

Hardly. In fact, my own theology, though grown in the soil of Christianity, is quite eclectic and leaves out a lot of what traditional and/or orthodox Christians believe.

Christian theology is part of my upbringing and approach. It is not the only spiritual perspective I hold, appreciate, or welcome. You will find elements of various faiths and spiritual traditions in these offerings. People from all spiritual backgrounds can benefit from the kind of inner work services I offer.
