spiritual direction

 

In Luke 24, two of Jesus’ disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, trying to make sense of Jesus’ recent death and resurrection. You can probably imagine how their minds were spinning with questions and grief.

Luke 24:15-16 tells us: “As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; but they were kept from recognizing him.”

For seven miles they walked and talked, Jesus right there beside them. And then, as they sat at the table and broke bread together, suddenly their eyes were opened. “Were not our hearts burning within us?” they exclaimed (Luke 24:32).

Spiritual direction is a bit like this story. It looks like people walking together, noticing the Holy Spirit’s activity and presence along the way. It looks like exploring questions and concerns about faith. It’s discerning an invitation in the current season, through prayer and silence. As a Christ-centered Spiritual Director, it’s my honor to walk alongside you, helping you to notice God’s presence and activity all along the way.

You may be wondering...

What is Spiritual Direction?

Spiritual Direction is:

  • A companion for your journey with God
  • A safe space to ask honest questions
  • Holy listening without agenda or fixing
  • Help discerning the Holy Spirit’s voice

Spiritual Direction is not:

  • Therapy or counseling (though it can complement therapy)
  • Advice-giving or problem-solving
  • Bible study or teaching
  • Reserved only for those in crisis

I am certified through the Christ Centered Spiritual Directors Association and abide by their code of ethics. The model I was trained in is Trinitarian in theology, contemplative in style, and biblical in grounding. I attended in-person classes for two years at College Wesleyan Church in Marion, Indiana and received my certification in December 2025.

We’ll meet together for an unhurried hour, either in person or through Google Meet. Our conversation will be a mix of prayer, discernment, silence, and conversation. I’ll ask you open-ended questions to help you discern the movement of the Holy Spirit in your life, and I’ll sit with you as we we wait on God’s direction. Everything we talk about will be confidential. 

Before we begin meeting, we’ll have an initial session where we’ll be more conversational so I can answer any questions you may have. During that time, we’ll discern if the two of us are a good fit for meeting. If not, I’ll be happy to point you in another direction. 

Perhaps you find yourself thinking: 

  • I want to grow deeper with God but don’t quite know where to begin.
  • I’m carrying grief, loss, or disappointment that I don’t know how to process.
  • Life feels full and busy, and I want to stay intentional about my walk with God.
  • I sense the Holy Spirit inviting me toward something, but I can’t discern what it is.
  • I’m in a good season and want a guide to help me pay attention to God within it.
  • I wonder if there’s more to my faith than what I’m currently experiencing.

We’ll schedule a complimentary introductory session together where we’ll talk through details including payment information. It’s my desire to find an affordable rate for everyone, so I offer a sliding scale ($50-75 per session) to ensure that spiritual direction is accessible to all who seek it. I also offer special rates for students and families in full time ministry. 

You can send payments through my PayPal link. 

The first step is a complimentary 30-minute consultation — a relaxed, no-pressure conversation where you can ask questions and get a feel for what spiritual direction is like. If it seems like a good fit, we’ll talk through next steps together. I’d love to hear from you!
