A sacred space to explore your soul’s journey with compassion, clarity, and contemplative presence.
Request a Free ConsultationWhat Is Spiritual Direction?
I offer spiritual direction as a compassionate, grounded companion for those exploring their inner world, discernment, or relationship with the Divine. My background weaves together Independent Catholic spirituality, Marian devotion, and mystical Christian wisdom. I walk alongside seekers of all identities—especially those who feel left out, disillusioned, or in transition—offering a safe, inclusive space for deep listening, soulful inquiry, and sacred transformation.
Whether you’re deconstructing inherited beliefs, yearning for deeper prayer, discerning a call, or simply needing a nonjudgmental place to speak your soul aloud—I’m here to witness and reflect with you. I do not give advice or fix problems; instead, I help you notice the sacred thread within your story and reconnect with your own deepest knowing.
Is Spiritual Direction for You?
- In a season of grief, transition, or seeking clarity
- Feeling disconnected from traditional religion, but still yearn for the sacred
- Curious about contemplative prayer or mystical practice
- Living with questions, doubts, or longings you can’t quite name
- Needing a companion who honors your spiritual story—without judgment or agenda
What to Expect in a Session
Spiritual direction sessions are 1-on-1 conversations grounded in holy listening. Sessions last 50 minutes and are held via Zoom or in-person at the Shrine of Holy Wisdom in Tempe, AZ. You’ll be gently invited to explore what is stirring in your spirit, what you’re noticing in prayer, dreams, your body, or life events. Silence, sacred texts, and symbols may guide our time together.
Let’s Begin with a Conversation
I offer a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether we’re a good fit for spiritual direction. There’s no pressure—just an opportunity to connect and listen.
