What is Spiritual Direction?
Spiritual direction, sometimes called spiritual companionship, begins with a deep belief: you are beloved, created with intention, and already carrying wisdom within you. At its heart, spiritual direction is an invitation that gently draws you to what gives your life meaning, purpose, and a sense of aliveness. It is a sacred conversation rooted in trust that the Holy is already present and moving within and around you.
A spiritual director offers a compassionate and welcoming presence where you can be fully seen and heard. Through deep listening, gentle curiosity, silence, breathing, and contemplative practices, we sit together in the presence of what is unfolding, gently noticing what is being revealed beneath the surface of your life—your longings and questions, your griefs and transitions, your hopes, and the places where you feel uncertain or stuck. There is no fixing here and no advice given, only a shared commitment to listen for what matters most.
Like hiking through the Northwoods or the deserts of the Southwest, life unfolds in seasons of challenge and celebration, stillness and adventure. There are times of calm reflection—like autumn trees mirrored on a lake—and times of uncertainty, like paddling an unknown river. Spiritual direction is a place to pause along the way, to notice, to listen, and to embrace your own unfolding path.
The peeling birch reveals the distinct and intricate patterns beneath its surface, and spiritual direction mirrors this kind of gentle revealing. It invites you to uncover your own inner landscape with tenderness and honesty, honoring both the beauty and the complexity of your story. There is room for wonder and curiosity, for rest and play, for weariness and joy, for clarity and not knowing.
Spiritual direction is for all people. It is a brave and confidential space grounded in respect, not judgment. You do not need to belong to any faith tradition or hold particular beliefs. Spirituality is understood broadly as the way we seek meaning, connection, and purpose in our lives. Spiritual direction simply creates space to listen more deeply, to yourself, to what you hold sacred, and to the life that is quietly calling you forward.
Typically, individual sessions last for one hour once a month. However, sometimes, we find ourselves in the wilderness or storms of life and need more support.
Cost:
1 Coaching Session: $55
Package of 4 sessions: $200 ($50 per session)
Package of 8 sessions: $360 ($45 per session)
Every eight-session journey includes a Reflection Session and a Reflection Companion. The Reflection Companion is a brief, gentle written invitation offered ahead of the session, creating space for listening, remembering, and noticing what has shifted. The Reflection Session is a 30-minute conversation where we pause together to reflect, name insights and “aha” moments, and discern next steps. This rhythm repeats every eight sessions, offering a steady practice of reflection, clarity, and movement for those who continue.
Reduced fee for undergraduate and seminary students, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC persons. Contact for more information.
In life, sometimes we need extra support financially. In the case that these fees are beyond your budget, and you are still interested in coaching, please reach out and inquire about fee options.
There are a variety of payment options. Contact for more details. An invoice will be provided upon request.
This offering continues to grow quietly, mostly through people telling one another, “This gave me space to listen more honestly.” If you know someone who might be feeling stuck, standing at a threshold, or longing for reflection and movement, you’re welcome to share my name. Referrals are received with deep gratitude and honored with a Reflection Session—time to pause and listen back in your own life.
