Spiritual direction encourages individuals to explore a closer relationship with God.

In spiritual direction, you have the chance to reflect more consciously on your experiences of prayer (and the routine of your daily life) for how God might be communicating with you, offering strength, hope, consolation, and invitations to a fuller life. Often, sharing your thoughts and experiences with a trained spiritual director leads to greater clarity about how God is with you and is leading you.

My role is to listen, ask questions, and reflect back to you patterns that point to how God may be working in your life. I can help make connections between scripture and religious practices and how you are experiencing God in your daily life.

Nothing is off-limits for discussion in spiritual direction because everything is a part of your spiritual life: work, relationships, money, recreation and leisure, all of it. Together with God, we can look at anything for fingerprints of divinity.

You might come to spiritual direction for a variety of reasons, including to:

• Explore new ways to pray
• Integrate spirituality/prayer more regularly into your daily life
• Discern and make difficult choices (job changes, a move, a change in a significant relationship, etc.)
• Share struggles, losses, or disappointments
• Grow in relationship with God, self, others, and creation
