Spiritual Direction

---

Are you longing for a deeper relationship with God? Do you find yourself at a crossroads, facing a life transition, grieving a loss, questioning long-held beliefs, or searching for meaning and purpose? Are you seeking spiritual renewal, new ways of praying, or a trusted companion for your journey?

Spiritual direction offers a sacred space in which to listen more deeply—to God, to your own heart, and to the movements of grace within your life. It is not counseling, therapy, or advice-giving. Rather, it is a contemplative relationship that helps you discern where God is present and active in your everyday experiences.

For more than three decades, I have accompanied people through life's most significant spiritual questions, transitions, losses, and awakenings. As a spiritual director, my role is to accompany you with respect, compassion, and attentive listening. Together, we explore your questions, experiences, hopes, doubts, joys, and challenges. I will never impose my beliefs or agenda upon you; instead, I seek to help you recognize your own deepest wisdom and respond to the invitations unfolding within your life.

A contemplative Catholic, I primarily work with Christians but welcome people from all faith traditions as well as those who do not identify with a particular religious path. My specialties include the spiritual journey, contemplative practice, the symbolic imagination, discernment, and navigating life's transitions—whether chosen or unexpected.

 I accompany individuals seeking greater spiritual depth, clarity, healing, and wholeness. My approach draws upon scripture, imagery, dreams, contemplative practice, body-mind-spirit awareness, the arts, and the rich wisdom of the Christian mystical tradition.

In addition to individual spiritual direction, I offer retreats, workshops, and seminars locally, nationally, and internationally. In the 1990s, I founded Walking to Emmaus, a Christian Spiritual Direction training and formation program sponsored by the Archdiocese of Chicago; I am a longtime member of Spiritual Directors International (SDI) and Chicago Area Spiritual Directors (CASD).

Spiritual direction sessions are typically one hour in length and take place monthly. Meetings are available in person, by telephone, or through Zoom, making spiritual companionship accessible wherever you live.

If you are seeking a deeper connection with God, greater clarity about your path, or a compassionate companion for your spiritual journey, I invite you to contact me to explore whether we are a good fit for working together.
