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.
