Hi! It’s me!

I come to Spiritual Direction as a city dweller, a creator of spaces, a mom, and a seeker of the sacred in ordinary life.

When I first learned about spiritual direction, I heard it described as being a ‘midwife of the soul.’ This connected deeply with me because I found pregnancy, birthing, and motherhood to be such a rich and vulnerable time with God. I love the idea of one person in the presence of another as they bring forth new life in their heart, mind, body and soul. I believe the Holy Spirit is the true director at work in spiritual direction, and I hope to come alongside others as they connect with the voice of God. As we notice together where the spirit is at work, we will hope to see glimpses of new life. My role is to provide prayerful support, active listening, and discernment in an environment of safety and acceptance. 

Before I became a mama, I was an architect. Before I called DC home, Nebraska was my home. The Lord has been gracious in guiding me through these seasons. I grew up in the church and draw on that foundation as my faith has become my own. After college I left the Nebraska landscape for a professional life in DC, to the heart of a mama, and now into Spiritual Direction. My life is enriched by the city, where I have learned to seek out the green spaces nestled among new and old buildings, as well as rejoice in the beauty of dense living and diverse neighbors. Our family has carved out a space here that fits us well and the Lord has blessed us. 

I am a graduate of the SELAH program for Spiritual Direction offered through Leadership Transformation Inc. I am committed to Selah’s shared rule of life for directors. I am a member of ESDA and agree with the doctrinal statement and code of ethics.  

My desire is to create an hospitable, beautiful, contemplative space where we can take a deep breath, orient our hearts toward God, and dwell in God’s love. If this sounds like what you are looking for, please be in touch.
