Is spiritual direction the right service for you?
Spiritual direction is a fast-growing field that is actually one of the oldest forms of helping relationships in existence. It’s been around since the beginning of Christianity! Despite how the name sounds, it has nothing to do with an expert directing your steps and it has everything to do with having a companion for your journey who can listen with you to what God is doing in your life.
Spiritual direction is all about using your own relationship with God to bring healing and transformation to your inner life. It isn’t about quick fixes or solving specific problems. Instead, it is all about growing to be a rooted, wise and deep person who knows how to heal + flourish in a friendship with God.
It does offer deep and lasting growth.
It does offer a quiet, slowed-down space to help you listen to God’s activity in your life.
It does offer life-long tools for connecting to God and allowing His love for you to shape all of your inner life.
It does give you deeper meaning and purpose, allowing you to stay rooted and present even in challenging seasons.
It does help you be more authentic and settled in your roles + relationships.
It does help you live with wisdom and depth so that you grow to be the type of seasoned, winsome person others are drawn to.

I’ve been a licensed clinical therapist for 15+ years and a lifelong learner about all things involving the inner life of the soul and person. Within my master’s degree, I specialized in spiritual formation and focused on integrating spirituality with therapy techniques.
I also completed a two-year spiritual direction post-graduate certification through the Haden Institute and am a professionally trained spiritual director.
