Spirituality is about seeing.
My role in spiritual direction is 90 percent listening.When I’m not listening to what’s on your mind and in your heart, I may ask questions to clarify something you’ve said or to suggest a different way of looking at something.
As a participant in spiritual direction over the past seven years, I’ve received so many blessings from being in the presence of a someone who listens deeply to my story. I’d love to share that gift with you. If you are longing for someone to listen attentively without judgment to your story, please consider spiritual direction with me. Contact me for an initial meeting to explore how spiritual direction can make a difference in your life.

After I have been working with someone for a while, sometimes I may bring into the session what Parker Palmer calls “a third thing” for us to reflect on together. It might be a prayer or a poem or a passage of Scripture. I also use imagery and guided meditation.
