I practice a ministry of deep listening, encouragement, and loving presence. I believe that whatever you are going through in life has profound importance. I believe in your ability to navigate your journey with power and purpose, to touch the sacred in it, and to express deeply and intentionally the truth of the person you feel called to be. I believe, too, in your ability to bring light into darkness, healing where there is woundedness, reconciliation where there has been division, and new life where there has been devastation and loss. I believe in you and I want to support you on your way.
In our time together, we'll cultivate a safe space to talk about your life, your thoughts and feelings, your fears and concerns, but also your hopes and sense of calling. We'll give special attention to finding the sacred in the midst of everyday life and discerning what is most important to you, how you feel called to live, what makes your heart sing, and what feels like it robs you of who you are meant to be.
What I offer is spiritual companionship and direction, grounded in the belief that the creative source of the universe is loving and forgiving, wants good things for us, is always with us, and moves through us and within us to bring authenticity, healing, wholeness, meaning, hope, and harmony to a world that badly needs them. This spirit that we cannot see or touch but can often nonetheless feel is already working to lift you up and move you toward the peace and wholeness you yearn for.
My work is also rooted in the belief that every one of us is a deeply beloved and spiritual being, brought forth into existence from the infinite imagination of God with gifts and character that the universe sorely needs. I believe God looked into the universe and saw a hole in it that only you could fill, and arranged Heaven and Earth to bring you here where you might fill it. Despite any sense of loneliness, meaninglessness, or unimportance you may feel, you are utterly unique and irreplaceable, a gift to the universe, and God loves you dearly.
In the spirit of these two beliefs, our work together is to slow down and open up to the fullness of who we are and the movement of that sacred spirit. In a shared space of stillness and presence, we will see things differently and relate to life with more love, acceptance, peace, and hope. We will learn to let go of that which holds us back and to embrace that which moves us forward toward a life that we experience as beautiful and true.
What I can promise is I will listen and I will love you. I will hold space for your deepest yearnings, biggest feelings, hardest experiences, and the hidden movements of your soul. I will do my best to be a vessel of God's love, grace, and peace for you. I will share with you what wisdom I have to offer about the spiritual journey. If you have questions I cannot answer, I will help you seek them. If you feel called to specific spiritual practices, I will teach you what I have learned. I will walk with you on your journey as a friendly presence and in our companionship, we will discover together what the Spirit is unfolding in your life.
If that sounds like what you're looking for, please book a session with me. I look forward to our journey together.
