SPIRITUAL DIRECTION
A guidance process, Spiritual Direction supports your "trail", your unique sacred path, and supports exploration of a deeper relationship with Providence. Meetings are available via one to one sessions, either by Zoom, phone or in person. Deepen your peace, discern next steps, renew your spirit, respond to invitations from Spirit with courage, and embrace your unique faith journey. Unique journey is key. In a diverse ever changing world, where many of us are reconstructing religious influence and reforming through Spirit's nudges, I stand with you non-judgmentally as you own the posture that you have chosen or are contemplating. Increasingly, I witness the solace of eco-spirituality as well and welcome you to claim where God is inviting you into nature.
*Know spiritual freedom.
*I will be your trusted guide.
*Together we will integrate wholeness of body, mind, spirit into your life.

PASTORAL COUNSELING
In pastoral counseling, a safe and confidential space is held for you. I will support healing of various life or relationship challenges, self-esteem matters, offer support for anxiety and stress relief, grief support, life review, conscious aging choices, family of origin recovery and co-dependency education, plus lean into overall body-mind-spirit well-being.
SUPERVISION for Spiritual Directors
Your ministry. as a spiritual director, is a vessel for the Holy. I offer you support in maintaining integrity as a vessel and keeping intentional rhythm of seeking refinement beyond your original training. As you live into the code of ethics for spiritual directors you will find supervision to be a key enrichment practice and a blessing. Either individual or group supervision may be arranged.
MEMORIAL SERVICES
As an ordained ecumenical minister, I am here for you when loss of dear ones occurs. With deep respect and compassion, I will help you hold space for a meaningful service, just right for you and your loved ones.
Creative indoor, outdoor or Zoom online services are available.
