About Me

I received my training and certification through CFDM (Christian Formation and Direction Ministries). At Azusa Pacific University, I earned a Bachelors of Science degree in Christian Leadership and a Masters in Theology and Ethics.

I maintain an office in El Segundo and Culver City to meet with individuals or small groups. I enjoy the outdoors and nature and will meet with directees at the park or favorite walking spot on occasion. Video-teleconferencing is also available if needed,

Contact me for more information and an initial first meeting (at no cost) to see if we might be a good fit.

About Me

I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology in 2016, where I was trained to be a Spiritual Director.

I currently practice Spiritual Direction in the Atlanta area. My background has been a Staff Director at Talbot Seminary, practicing individual and group spiritual direction with those in the ISF program, and was an Adjunct Faculty at Talbot Seminary where I taught, lead group direction, and trained. I also provided supervision for staff spiritual directors at the Center for Spiritual Renewal through the Institute for Spiritual Formation. I am available to offer direction on a vary limited bases during this season.

I have a heart for those desiring to know God at a deeper level, no matter what season they find themselves in. Having worked for a missions organization for 8+ years, I have a particular understanding of the challenges of missionary life. I also have an entrepreneurial spirit and enjoy working with business leaders in a formative way. I am currently working for Chick Fil A's Winshape Foundation as the manager of retreats in their marriage ministry.

I have worked with marriages, providing spiritual direction 2 on 2 as my wife also is a trained spiritual director. I am excited at providing more opportunities for couples to engage the process of spiritual direction collectively and individual.

My practice includes individual and group direction, working with male or female directees, teaching on Spiritual Formation, training Spiritual Directors and Pastoral counselors, teaching classes on Spiritual Formation, and I am able to design personalized retreats for individuals, groups, or leadership.

I have been married to my wife Holly Jauregui since 2012 and we have a son, Lincoln.

About Me

I am a spiritual director practicing the beloved of God-ness. To show others how beloved THEY are, as well as cultivating how beloved I am by God. More formally, I am a trained spiritual director by the Institute of Spiritual Formation, Master's of Divinity, with an emphasis in spiritual formation, at Biola University. Currently, I have experience with undergraduate students, adults, and married individuals (but not couples). I am a Taiwanese American, raised in Utah, with first-generation Taiwanese American parents, who are also missionaries along the Wasatch Front (Northern Utah and Southern Idaho). The tag-line on my business card is, "A partner with you on your journey with God." I strongly believe in partnership: in which director and directee (e.g. you) partner together with the work the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are currently doing in the directee's life to live out "the glory of God, [which] is the human being fully alive" (St. Iranaeus).

About Me

I am an Iowa farm girl, mother of 3 boys, PE teacher/coach, grandma to seven - and now a Spiritual Director! I have a graduate certificate in spiritual formation with the Transforming Community (Northern Seminary) and am a certified spiritual director from the School of Spiritual Direction (Sustainable Faith). I will be certified to accompany the Ignatian Exercises. My husband and I have worked with missionaries for many years in South Asia. I lead retreats for church women and am passionate about the need for a more reflective life in today's frenetic culture. What I love about spiritual direction is the front row seat I get to have in listening to and noticing the Holy Spirit's work in others' lives. I love to accompany those who are just beginning to find their calling before God, as well as those who are further along in their faith journey. I believe that we cannot grow spiritually alone. We each need someone travelling the road beside us, listening to us and then paying attention at the same time to the Holy Spirit and to scriptural guidance. I love to pray with others or just be silent with them in their search for God In Life As It Is.

About Me

My favorite image of a spiritual director is that of a midwife: one who listens and tenderly attends to the birthing process of new life that God desires to give each of us. I like to create a safe place for people to connect with God, to grow in intimacy with Jesus, and to be held in the Father’s loving embrace.

Spiritual direction is about prayerful attention. Instead of offering advice or attempting to solve a problem, my role as a spiritual director is to help you notice the movement of God in your life and assist you in perceiving the deep stirrings and longings in your spirit. My ministry is one of listening, with one ear tuned to the Holy Spirit and the other tuned to your story. No agenda. No achievement plan. Just time and place set apart to draw near to the living God. Throughout this process it is the Holy Spirit who is the ultimate director.

Are there things churning inside you that you are not sure how to process? Do you need perspective? Do you desire to see light and to feel hope? If so, it would be an honor to be with you, to pay attention to what God is doing in your life, and to dialogue with you about how you may want to respond to God’s invitations.

I participated in the three-year spiritual direction program at Mercy Center in Burlingame, California, completing it in 2002. I have worked as a spiritual director in para-church as well as church settings, and while living among the poor and marginalized during a long period of inner-city ministry. I have worked in retreat direction and in the training and supervision of spiritual directors. I live in San Francisco with my husband of 30 years and our friendly dog, who accompanies me on many of my favorite walks. We have two adult daughters. Our younger daughter is affected by Down syndrome and a passionate dancer. I enjoy finding God in nature, walking with friends, dance, yoga, reading, traveling, and sharing meals from around the world with friends and family.

About Me

Ministry, whether paid or volunteer, presents challenges which can be overwhelming. If a Christian leader does not take special care of their soul, they will likely succumb to the pressures of leadership. They will feel alone, inadequate, down, depressed, isolated or just plain disoriented. Do any of those ideas resonate with you?

My heart is to come alongside those leaders in ministry settings and give them someone safe to listen to their story. So that Jesus will not be someone to work for, but with someone who ministry is done with! I specialize in working with pastors and church leaders who are experiencing difficulty in their ministry. It is a joy to walk with someone as they discover how to discern the movements of the Holy Spirit and identify the seasons of their spiritual growth. I would love to walk with you through your current season of the soul.

I graduated from Ozark Christian College in Joplin, MO and received an MA in Christian Formation and Soul Care from Denver Seminary in 2011. I’ve been an ordained pastor since 1996 and served in a variety of states and positions (Youth Pastor, Associate, Discipleship and Sr Pastor) within the local church. I am currently a Professor at Manhattan Christian College in Manhattan, KS, while continuing in a Doctorate of Ministry program at Denver Seminary.

About Me

I completed my MA in Spiritual Formation & Soul Care in May 2017 from Talbot School of Theology's Institute for Spiritual Formation. It was during my journey at ISF that my life opened up to myself, God, and others in profound ways. I have worked in pastoral ministry and church leadership for 8 years and have experienced powerful movements of the Holy Spirit in my charismatic church background - but it was my journey at ISF that allowed me to grow in deeper awareness of God and myself, to acknowledge my pain, reclaim my story, and to discern the deep workings of the Holy Spirit in a contemplative way of being. I consider myself a wounded healer who loves to journey alongside others in sacred, loving space. I have a heart for Christian leaders who need a place of refuge. I also love to be with others in self-discovery, issues of betrayal, sexuality, as well as those who are involved in creative arts/entertainment. Currently not taking any new clients.

About Me

What an honor, a sacred place, the ministry of Spiritual Direction. It is a privilege to come alongside the true Spiritual Director, the Holy Spirit.

I first discovered Spiritual Direction as part of my own spiritual formation. I completed a 5 year journey into my own spiritual formation beginning with a 9 month experience in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. This followed by a two-year Spiritual Formation program through the ministry of The Transforming Center and Ruth Haley Barton and most recently completing a two-year training program through the Sustainable Faith, School of Spiritual Direction.

My vocation had long been in a role of directing Global Outreach in a local congregation. As a part of this role, I met with many persons; missionaries, pastors, volunteers and church members. What I noticed over and over were so many persons longing to know and to be known by God in a deeper way. I stepped away from my Global Outreach position in order to shift my focus to the work of Spiritual Direction.

I desire to listen to others, while holding this sacred space, helping others to notice God’s presence in their soul journey. God is faithful, and always present to meet the directee wherever that might be.

In addition to offering Spiritual Direction, I am blessed to spend time with my husband of 39 years, our 3 children, their spouses and 6 grandchildren.

About Me

My deep hope and prayer is that I offer a safe place for God to speak to those drained dry by life, ministry, parenting or burdened by pressures of all kinds that drown out the voice of God.....or maybe just people who feel it's hard to find God right now. Spiritual practices no longer "work" and/or desire for God is lacking. This ministry constantly humbles me, mostly because God always shows up (in spite of my own frailty), and it feels like a huge honor to be trusted by others to walk alongside them on their spiritual journey.

After graduating from Talbot, I've worked in a variety of capacities in churches and conference centers, teaching and mentoring people of all ages and stages. But eventually, and without my knowing, all the busy doing drained my soul. I felt stuck in a spiritually dry place with God. That began my own long journey away from guilt and shame and towards a new way of approaching my own quiet rhythms with a loving Father. Later I spent two years training with Christian Formation and Direction Ministries. I have completed additional training to lead people (individuals or small groups) through the 19th annotation of the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises or the retreat in daily life. I am a student of the wisdom of the Enneagram, especially as it applies to spiritual transformation.

Spending free time with my dear husband, adult kids and my grandkids is extremely life-giving for me. Career-wise, I've worked part-time with families in independent study for 15 years. I'm also a lover of books and the beach (usually together) and a reluctant gym-rat. I am ever-blessed to have a small group of friends who put up my passion and fascination with the formation and care of the human soul as we travel this gift we call life.

About Me

I'm a graduate of the Institute for Spiritual Formation (M.A., 2015) at Biola University. I've been married for 10 years and my wife and I just welcomed our second child into our family. I've worked in a variety of ministry contexts from Christian universities to church plants to funeral homes to para-church organizations. And after all of that, I've found spiritual direction to be what brings me the most joy and fulfillment. Growing up in a ministry family and being a pastor's kid is a big part of my story and has led me to have a soft heart for ministry families and for those in occupational ministry. Working in all these contexts (as well as a lot of non-ministry related jobs), I also have a lot of experience working in bivocational or trivocational work situations. Spiritual direction is one of several part time jobs that I'm currently juggling.
So let's have a conversation, see what happens..."knock on some doors" and be surprised by God. Peace.

About Me

I believe that Spiritual Direction is for people of any age. It involves listening, encouraging and supporting someone on their spiritual journey. I also believe that Spiritual Direction provides a life changing opportunity to draw closer to Jesus. This happened in my life. I’m confident that it can happen in yours.
I completed the Sustainable Faith Spiritual Direction program in May 2019. I graduated from Trinity International University with a MA in Counseling Ministries. I have a BS in Nursing from Ohio State University.
It would be my privilege to walk with you on your spiritual journey.

About Me

The art of holy listening. I have received this. I am seeking to offer this as I companion others. The past eight years have been preparing my steps. Marriage, family, home education, international living and local church ministries are the experiences that have shaped the spiritual direction ministry in my life.

I received my direction training through the Selah Certificate Program in Spiritual Direction, Leadership Transformations, Inc. in June 2016. I have been sitting in spiritual direction since 2008. My husband, Sam, and I have been married for 28 breath-taking years. We have two married sons and two unmarried adult children.

About Me

My purpose - Brother with Men to Burn for Jesus Christ. Became a Christian in my teen years, 9 years US Air Force pilot, lived overseas 14 years, husband of one awesome wife, father to 4 terrific kids, a life coach since 2009, mostly with men. Small group and one to one discipleship for 35 years. In 2014 started Spiritual Direction training with Selah - Leadership Transformations.

The distinction of Spiritual Direction is "walking with" a brother towards Christ. I quit telling men what to do, and started listening with them to what God is saying to them.

Good experience with integrating the inner spiritual life with the outside behaviors, rock solid Jesus style marriages, helping men step away from pornography.

About Me

I long for a vibrant and intimate relationship with God and have been profoundly touched by the relationships I’ve encountered along the way in my own spiritual journey. The art of listening and compassionate care; to walk alongside of another in life’s journey, is a unique experience, one that can be so life-giving. It’s my pleasure to companion souls as a spiritual director, as a spiritual friend.

I am a creative. I paint, design, craft, write, imagine, curate sacred experiences and enjoy the varied expressions of the human soul through the arts, literature, nature and "work" in the world. I've taken to heart the Apostle Paul's desire to "labor until Christ be formed in you" and find in it a way to describe my vocation in life. I've spent almost 10 years pastoring in at a local church and was enriched by shaping and curating a communal sacred experience for many in the congregation.

My education/training includes: MDIV (pastoral ministries), a MA (Spiritual Formation/Soul Care) both graduate degrees are from Talbot School of Theology. I've also received training in Ignatian spiritual exercises and retreat, Contemplative Spiritual Practices and the Enneagram, and training in vocation-formation facilitation of seminary small groups at Fuller Seminary. I have a rich and varied experience of serving God and his people through cross-cultural and local missional work, teaching in churches and universities, facilitating group and individual spiritual direction and retreats, and participation in community outreach.

I have acquired some unique training with elder/end of life, chronic illness and dementia care by way of my own life circumstances. I've had the privilege of walking my own family through trying seasons to assist our elder family members in their passing with dignity.

Whatever the life season, I welcome companionship - those that walk with me or the invitation to walk with others. As one of my mentors says: Soul work - transformative life in God - is the solitary work that can not be done alone.

About Me

A core value that I hold as a spiritual director is the cultivation of hospitable space. Henri Nouwen's definition of hospitality has shaped me in profound ways. Nouwen says, "Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend . . . Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place.” I find tremendous joy in holding free and empty space where growing self-awareness and self-discovery lead to finding the sacredness of one's own life story within God's Divine Story. Within the freedom of this safe space, together we listen to the Spirit and discern the presence and action of God in your life.

I have served for over 25 years as staff in a Protestant missionary order as a trainer in spiritual formation and as mentor and coach. I was born in South Korea and immigrated to the US as a child. I have always been drawn to sit with others and listen deeply to their sacred stories. As I deepen my own journey into contemplative spirituality, I am drawn to the sacredness of each individual human being as created in God's image and to the sacredness of each person's unfolding life journey.

I have training in both one-on-one and group spiritual direction through Center Quest School of Spiritual Direction. I love both modalities and find group spiritual direction a powerful and counter-cultural mode of experiencing community in the body of Christ.

About Me

It's been my privilege to serve in ministry with my husband, Tom, for the past 35 years. After serving cross-culturally in SE Asia for 9 years, subsequent ministry has centered primarily on extending missionary care to those serving in a variety of contexts around the world.

My vision and love for ministry only deepened and expanded through my MA degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care, which I earned at Talbot School of Theology in 2014. After three decades of ministry, I learned an entirely different way of sitting with others, and I'm grateful that there is now much much more of Jesus and much less of Sue in my ministry conversations.

I have a particularly tender spot in my heart for those who have served or are serving as missionaries, for those who have grown up in a culture other than their home culture, for those who are actively serving in ministry, and for those who are walking through grief and loss.

I am a graduate of the Sustainable Faith 2 year program. My other degrees are BSRN, and JD. I also have certificate in Mediation from Phoenix Strategies, Colorado Springs. I love doing one on one directing and am very comfortable working via Zoom, FT or Skype. One of my focuses is on body image and how it can hamper spiritual connection with God. I am going to be certified in Intuitive Eating, which to me is a powerful tool to reconnect with one’s body and to facilitate loving embodiment in relation to our embodied Lord. I am open to doing group spiritual direction as well.
