Embrace your true self through Spiritual Guidance

Spiritual Direction is a deeply personal and transformative process where a professional trained in its art and practice provides support and companionship to help you explore and deepen your spiritual life. It’s not therapy or counseling, but rather a sacred conversation and relationship focused on your spiritual journey.

In Spiritual Direction, you can expect to:

Reflect: You’ll have a safe space to reflect on your experiences, questions, and challenges related to your life

Explore: Together, we will explore your beliefs, identity, values, and the meaning of your human experiences

Connect: Spiritual Direction fosters a deeper connection with your inner Self, the divine, or the transcendent, depending on your beliefs

Grow: It helps you grow spiritually, emotionally, and personally, allowing you to live in greater alignment with your authentic self and values

Listen: I will actively listen, ask questions, and offer insights to help you discern your path and find clarity 

When you encounter life’s challenges, your first thought may be to reach out to a therapist. It is important to know that Spiritual Direction and therapy are both valuable tools for personal growth and healing. 

However, the main difference between Spiritual Direction and therapy is the focus of the work. Traditional therapy often focuses on managing symptoms and behaviors, while Spiritual Direction focuses on personal growth and self discovery. 

While traditional therapy is an important tool for addressing specific issues and developing coping mechanisms, Spiritual Direction delves deeper into the realm of personal transformation, reaching areas of your Self that traditional therapy may not be able to access.

While therapy or counseling often focus on solving specific problems or addressing mental health issues, Spiritual Direction is more about exploring your relationship to your Self and deepening your inner wisdom. It’s about uncovering your authenticity and aligning your life with your deepest values and truths. 

However, it’s important to note that Spiritual Direction can compliment therapy, or counseling, but it’s not a replacement for the diagnostic process found within professional mental health services.

Spiritual Direction goes beyond traditional therapy, helping you learn how to tap into your inner wisdom to better understand your emotions, motivations, and true desires. This knowledge allows you to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and make decisions that are more aligned with your whole Self. 

Spiritual Direction helps you connect with your inner wisdom, explore your personal narrative, and create lasting change.

My work stands at the intersection of wisdom and wonder. I chiefly employ the dynamics of the Enneagram in order to help you explore your own motivations, innate gifts, patterns of behavior, and unique stumbling blocks.

The wisdom of the enneagram is then contained within a psycho-spiritual framework built from Jungian psychology, Dreamwork, MBTI, creative expression, philosophy, Tarot, spiritual formation theory, religious studies, the new sciences, and consciousness studies. 

Similarly, I engage the inner self through multiple pathways to the unconscious and encourage the wonder of spiritual discovery.

These blended elements help to increase self-awareness, develop multiple intelligences, connect to the body's innate wisdom, and expand your capacity for love and compassion in order to foster a truer sense of alignment.

In a Spiritual Direction session, you can expect a compassionate, warm, and supportive environment, where you are encouraged to explore your personal and spiritual journey. The focus will be on your personal experience and the understanding you bring about your relationship the divine, your inner wisdom, or the larger mystery of which we are all a part. Each session is unique, tailored to meet you where you are and to gently guide your future footfalls.

Similar to traditional therapy, Spiritual Direction invites conversation around events and circumstances in your life. However, private sessions help you not only challenge dominate problematic stories that prevent you from living your best life but widen your perspective by considering alternative viewpoints. This process allows you to see your life story as you currently understand it as well as the meaning that you have assigned to circumstances and events. 

Transformative listening allows us both to compassionately inspect your narrative and change how you might understand yourself and the world around you. What's more, we consider the role that your Divine Understanding might have in considering new perspectives.

Spiritual Direction opens the door to the deepest wisdom of all -- that which you hold in your heart already, that which you can discover for yourself. By coming to more fully understand your story, you can become empowered to improve it. The purpose of Spiritual Direction is to intentionally and compassionately unfold what is already within you in order to live a life of greater connection and meaning.

My approach is contemplative, compassionate and accepting. My role as your Spiritual Director is to be a thoughtful guide and facilitator to help you learn about yourself, your origin story, your desires and motivations, and your patterns with others. I see Spiritual Direction as an opportunity for reflection and growth. Together, we lovingly examine the mortal misconceptions that impede your ability to live fully, happily, freely and peaceably. 

I help you to see more than just external actions, but invite you to look deeper at your soul and what is happening there that is driving your choices and actions. Through the compassionate examination of what lies beneath the surface of your life, you are then able to move forward with a clear and peaceful mind, a truer sense of fulfillment, and a free and expansive heart.

I utilize a variety of tools for Spiritual Direction: storytelling, therapeutic conversation, play, contemplation, Jungian thought, divination, consciousness studies, sand tray, dreamwork and the creative arts, all to aid in the healing journey.  

As your Spiritual Director, I help you to notice who you uniquely are and lovingly guide you toward your unique place within the cosmic story.

This can vary based on individual needs and circumstances. Typically, people find a monthly session to be beneficial, but some may prefer more frequent sessions, especially during periods of significant change or personal growth. The frequency of sessions can be discussed and adjusted to best suit your unique journey.

Intuitive Guidance is a 50-minute single session where I bring together Spiritual Direction and Intuitive Guidance. This creates a rich and enlightening experience, where you can delve deep into your life narrative and tap into your intuitive wisdom. It’s about understanding yourself on a profound level, and guiding you towards your authentic life path.

An Intuitive Guidance session integrates multiple modalities, including Spiritual Direction and psychic insights. This offers a holistic approach to self-discovery and personal growth, providing deeper insights and a wider range of tools for your journey. 

In addition to the support and guidance found in Spiritual Direction, I may use Tarot or other mystical tools to gain clarity and insight into your personal story. A regular Spiritual Direction session, on the other hand, focuses on spiritual mentorship alone.

In an Intuitive Guidance session with me, you can expect a deeply personal and enlightening experience focused on gaining insights and clarity in various aspects of your life.

•  Mediumship (only if strongly presented): If you wish to connect with loved ones who have passed, I can facilitate communication with the spirit realm, providing messages or closure from the other side.
•  Personalized Guidance: The session will be tailored to your unique needs and concerns. You can ask questions or seek guidance on specific issues, or you can simply be open to whatever intuitive insights arise.
•  Clarity and Direction: Through the session, you can expect to gain clarity, perspective, and a deeper understanding of your life's path. Many clients find that intuitive guidance sessions help them make informed decisions and navigate challenges with confidence.
•  Empowerment: My aim is to empower you to trust your intuition and inner wisdom, enabling you to make choices that align with your authentic self and values.
•  Confidentiality: Rest assured that your session is entirely confidential, and you can feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings.

Ultimately, an Intuitive Guidance session is an opportunity for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth. It's a collaborative and supportive experience designed to help you find clarity and move forward on your life's journey with greater confidence and purpose.

Intuitive Guidance is for anyone feeling lost, disconnected, or seeking deeper clarity in their life. It’s especially beneficial for those grappling with life’s big questions or are seeking to connect more deeply with their inner wisdom. 

Essentially, if you’re seeking a deeper understanding of yourself or of your life, Intuitive Guidance could be a great opportunity for you.

Certainly! A Jungian Astrology Reading is a unique and insightful exploration of your life's journey, drawing from the principles of both astrology and the psychology of Carl Gustav Jung. 

Here's a detailed explanation:

• Astrology as a Symbolic Map: Jungian astrology views your birth chart not as a prediction tool but as a symbolic map of your psyche. It represents the energies and archetypal patterns at play in your life, offering deep insights into your personality, life purpose, and potential challenges.
• Archetypal Patterns: Jungian psychology emphasizes the presence of archetypal symbols and patterns in the human psyche. In a Jungian astrology reading, these archetypal symbols are woven into the interpretation of your birth chart. This approach helps you understand the underlying themes and motivations that influence your choices and experiences.
• Self-Discovery: The primary goal of a Jungian astrology reading is self-discovery. It encourages you to explore your unconscious mind and recognize patterns that may be influencing your life. This self-awareness can lead to personal growth, healing, and a deeper connection with your true self.
• Integration: Jungian astrology emphasizes the process of integration, where you acknowledge and accept all aspects of yourself, including the shadow or less conscious parts. It's about finding balance and wholeness within your psyche, which can lead to greater harmony in your life.
• Archetypal Astrology: Jungian astrology often focuses on archetypal astrology, which looks at the larger, transpersonal archetypal forces at work in your life. These archetypes, such as the Hero, the Mother, or the Sage, can help you understand the greater purpose and meaning behind your experiences.
• Exploration of Dreams: Jungian astrology readings may also incorporate dreamwork, where appropriate. Dreams are seen as messages from the unconscious, and understanding their symbolism can provide additional insights into your life's path.
• Personal Guidance: Your Jungian astrology reading will be highly personalized, tailored to your specific birth chart and life circumstances. It's an opportunity to receive guidance on your life journey, make informed decisions, and navigate challenges.
• Spiritual Growth: Beyond psychological insights, Jungian astrology often delves into the spiritual dimensions of your chart, helping you explore your soul's purpose and its connection to the larger universe.

In summary, a Jungian astrology reading is a holistic approach to self-discovery, integrating astrology and Jungian psychology to provide profound insights into your psyche, life path, and spiritual journey. It's a powerful tool for personal growth, healing, and achieving greater self-awareness and wholeness.
