About Me

I have a heart for the TCKs/MKs, since I too have lived as a missionary kid overseas during my formative years. Spiritual direction is an added tool, to my first career path as a nurse. Love entering spaces of pause with people in the totality of who they are: mind, body, and spirit. Helping people lean into present day God's work that He is doing in their lives.

About Me

My heart is to provide a safe space for a wide range of individuals with various spiritual experiences and backgrounds through the Holy Spirit. It is my joy to walk with people in their journey of faith, help them recognize how God is present in their lives, and explore their personal prayer life and relationship with the Lord through vulnerability, transparency, and genuine conversation.

I graduated from Talbot School of Theology with my MA in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care. My training has granted me various opportunities to walk with a diverse group of individuals experiencing deconstruction, confusion, “dark night of the soul”, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My greatest desire is to be a hospitable presence to guide people in learning what it means to walk with the Lord, experience Spirit-led sanctification, and become more like Christ, from the inside out.

Through my own upbringing as a missionary's kid, I have been able to relate with fellow pastors' and missionaries’ kids who may have unique struggles and deep wounds and hurts. My own mission trip experiences to countries such as Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Sri Lanka, India, Lebanon, Greece, South Korea, and Cambodia, as well as my one-year student missionary experience in Turkey, have widened my worldview and perspectives on diversity, culture, and religion. My greatest passion of all is to utilize spiritual direction as a tool on the mission field, particularly in Middle Eastern nations.

I am passionate about discipleship, relationships, and helping people of all ages find God in their everyday. I am also eager to hold a safe space for those seeking healing and restoration from church or spiritual leadership wounds. In addition, my heart is to help church leaders and pastors who are feeling stuck, experiencing burn out, or unable to go deeper in their relationship with the Lord. I long for all believers to discover how we were created to be in relationship with God, and how our soul, heart, and spirit affect us as a whole.

If you would like to have someone to sit with and listen to your journey with the Lord, and become more aware of what the Holy Spirit is doing in your life, I would love to join you!

About Me

God is always present and, even in times of seeming silence, always communicating. His nature is relational and his desire is to come close to us. The questions lie with us: how are we remaining attentive to his presence, his voice? Are we remaining attentive?

Through the ministry of spiritual direction, it is my joy and privilege to help pilgrims remain attentive. As I sit with a pilgrim, I hold their sacred story and listen with them for the Spirit’s voice of love.

I’ve partnered in ministry with my husband, Tom, for forty years. After serving cross-culturally in SE Asia for nine years, subsequent ministry has centered on a variety of local church involvements and on extending missionary care to those serving globally. My vision and love for ministry were deepened through my MA degree in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care, which I completed at Talbot School of Theology in 2014.

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 open to doing group spiritual direction as well. As of May 2022 I will be certified to accompany clients through the 19th Annotation of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.

About Me

Despite growing up a preacher’s daughter, I have often wondered why God was (or wasn’t!) allowing certain circumstances in my life. There have been plenty of times when I felt angry, hurt, confused and even abandoned by God. Yet through it all, I’ve seen His goodness and experienced His faithful, loving presence in the midst of pain and problems. I’ve also come to realize how vital it is to have the support of fellow pilgrims along the way, especially during times when God feels distant or confusing.

I want to help you, too, see God’s goodness and lovingkindness at work in the midst of your life. I want you to know how much and how deeply God loves you, and that He will work all things together for your good. It’s okay to be unsure or struggling in our walk with God. Through the process of listening and noticing His presence together, He will lead you into deeper understanding, healing and peace. I know this because I’ve seen it happen over and over again, in my own life and in the lives of those with whom I work.

Through the training program at Soul Shepherding, I learned how to wed my love of spirituality and emotional health, and was certified as a Spiritual Director in 2022. Prior to this, I obtained my doctorate from Rosemead School of Psychology, at Biola University, in 2000, and practiced as a licensed clinical psychologist for 20 years, specializing in trauma and adoption. Shortly after my husband and I had our first son in 2006, our family dealt with significant health issues. God used this to propel me into the world of alternative healthcare. I have since had additional training in numerous mind-body techniques that can be used to foster healing and increase our ability to both hear from and respond to our Heavenly Father.

My absolute favorite thing is to see people set free to have a renewed relationship with the triune God, and to more fully express their unique gifts and abilities in His Kingdom. I would love to journey with you on your path as we learn to revel in God’s goodness together!

About Me

Hi, my name is Chris and my own personal journey towards spiritual direction was about a decade in the making.

In my early thirties, I experienced a dark night of the soul that lasted for over a year. It was a difficult and disorientating time. I felt alone and without a good space to be able to openly and honestly process what was happening in my journey with God. Little did I know then what a gift that time would be. God used that time not only for forming my own soul but for shaping my future vocation. Through this experience, God gave me a passion for helping others better understand their own spiritual journeys, spiritual disciplines, and the care of their souls.

I bring over 20 years of experience in church and parachurch ministry as well as in learning and development across the lifespan. I have served on church staff and in church leadership and have extensive experience leading adult spiritual formation classes and book clubs. I completed a Master’s Degree in Educational Psychology: Learning and Development at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and a two-year training program in Spiritual Direction through The Christos Center for Spiritual Formation.

I have been married for 23 years and have one teenage daughter. I love to be outside in nature, backpack camping, doing leather work and anything creative, and reading - especially anything sci-fi/fantasy or related to spiritual growth and development.

I am on staff with Gracebridge Alliance, a non-profit organization of spiritual directors that desires to help sustain faithfulness in ministry leaders. I see directees in person in our offices in Brookfield, WI, and Fond du Lac, WI, as well as remotely.

I would welcome a conversation with you.

About Me

For the past twenty years, I’ve journeyed with a wide variety of people through grief, disappointment, and anger, and I love to walk with others as they pursue freedom and wholeness in God.

I’m endlessly surprised by the creativity of God and how we are met in ways we don’t expect, often when we are ready to throw in the towel. One of my passions is working with those who have encountered church hurt or find themselves in a season of discouragement and burnout in their spiritual lives.

My training includes a BS in Psychology, an MA in Counseling, and a Spiritual Direction through Nuos Formation. I live in the Bay Area, California, where you can find me scheming up writing and photography projects, leading creativity workshops, and assembling unnecessarily lavish graze boards. I am available for in-person or virtual spiritual direction as well as facilitating retreats.

About Me

I count it a privilege to be invited to companion with people as they seek to journey deeper into the transforming love of Jesus. The Prophet Jeremiah, in the midst of a spiritually dry time, reminded God’s people, “’Long ago the Lord said to Israel: “I have loved you, my people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love, I have drawn you to myself.” (Jeremiah 31:3, NLT) As we travel through all phases and seasons of life, the joyful and the difficult, Jesus is continually inviting us to respond to Him and live more fully in His love for us. This does not always mean the love Jesus is extending to us is obvious at first or easy to embrace. Yet, what I love about the ministry of Spiritual Direction is the chance to assist and support others as they seek to know and encounter Jesus is a personal and formative way. I desire to be a presence and listening ear that opens the door for others to meet with and hear from the Holy Spirit, who is the true Spiritual Director of our lives. God is the guide, the grace, and the goal of our journey; our role is to attentively recognize and respond to His movements in our lives.
I have the joy of being with Jesus and people in many facets of life. I am husband to a wonderful wife, a dad to two young boys, an ordained pastor in The International Church of the Foursquare Gospel, as a Spiritual Director, and as the Care Pastor at Faith Fellowship Church in Uxbridge, MA where I facilitate the pastoral care ministries of the church and oversee the church’s small groups. My training includes a B.A. in Biblical Studies from Zion Bible College, a Masters of Divinity from Ashland Theological Seminary with a concentration in Spiritual Formation, and the completion of a two-year training cohort in Spiritual Direction through The PAX Center of Spiritual Formation.

About Me

"He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. “
Psalm 23:2 Is a favorite scripture and I see it as an invitation from God into His presence. It is my sincere desire to help you step into the quiet waters of God’s love. I would be honored to be your soul care companion on your journey.
I am a graduate of Sustainable Faith’s School of Spiritual Direction and a member of ESDA. Offering you a welcoming space for connection with God and the transformation that occurs in that loving presence is my heart.
I am a certified naturalist and by request offer the observation of nature as a reflective tool in soul care. Similarly, as the founder of Presence Ministries, I lead contemplative nature retreats for those seeking the presence of God in his creation.

About Me

I completed my M.A. in Spiritual Formation and Soul Care at Talbot School of Theology and currently practice Spiritual Direction both virtually and in the Orange County area. My background includes serving as a Staff Director at Talbot Seminary, where I provide individual and group spiritual direction to both undergraduate and graduate students. I also offer private personal direction and group direction. I am available to offer direction at this time and am welcoming new directees.

I have a deep passion for guiding those who seek a closer relationship with God, regardless of whether they find themselves in a season of growth and newness, or a spiritual wasteland. Having transitioned from a different faith tradition to something new, I deeply understand the challenges of faith transition and loss of community. I also know the hope that can come with sharing these experiences with others who welcome you in.

My practice includes individual and group direction for both male and female directees and collaboration with other Spiritual Directors. I am committed to supporting those in transition, ministry, leadership, business, and those wrestling with profound faith questions, anger, and grief, or those looking to grow spiritually with God in everyday life.

I bring extensive first-hand experience in trauma recovery and am dedicated to providing trauma-informed Spiritual Direction for both acute and complex trauma.

Outside of my practice, I enjoy connecting with my husband, family, and close friends, exploring new recipes, and immersing myself in books on spiritual growth, complex trauma, poetry, and narrative.

My current research interests include trauma, dissociation, anger, shame, grief, sexuality, boundary setting, group/communal dynamics, somatic work, and Centering Prayer.

If you are ready to explore your unique spiritual location and deepen your authentic relationship with God, I would be honored to support you on this journey.

About Me

"As a spiritual director, I am a faithful and engaged listener who compassionately companions and encourages others to a deeper understanding of their belovedness in Jesus. My personal life call is to love and know God with intention, vigor, and passion. (Jeremiah 9:34)

I have walked my own wilderness journey with the Lord, and from there my desire was stirred to companion believers while they walk out their own journeys with Jesus. I have walked through divorce, single-parenting, remarriage and merging a blended family. Years in the wilderness deepened my love for Jesus and shaped my spiritual journey like nothing else has. I have been a military wife, a registered nurse, and I have directed a Christian ministry.

I encourage people on their journeys at different levels. I offer individual and group spiritual direction and some coaching. I speak at retreats on spiritual intimacy and growing deeper in Christ, and I also host contemplative group retreats in my home. It is a joy to see people journey with Christ and each other for a day!

I received my Spiritual Direction training from Selah (Leadership Transformations). I have completed the Transforming Center’s program for Spiritual Transformation, Larry Crabb’s New Way School of Spiritual Direction, and I have completed Coaching the Heart program from Leadership MetaFormation.

I am married to my best friend Ken, and we have a large and loud family of five children, three daughters-in-love, and three grandchildren. I live in the mountains of southwest Colorado, and I like to check off the boxes of a good Coloradan by hiking, running on trails, and sitting on my porch looking at the mountains."

About Me

I am a spiritual director and retreat facilitator formed in the Ignatian Spirituality tradition. I companion others who want to deepen their relationship with God. I am trained in giving the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola.

I have led spiritual formation groups through guided meditation and Lectio Divina for over a decade. One passion of mine is accompanying people recovering from homelessness and addiction to encounter God’s love, hope and healing through spiritual retreats and weekly reflections offered through the Ignatian Spirituality Project.

I have a MS in Community Counseling with a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from Loyola University Chicago, a BA from Northwestern University. I studied giving the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius for 2 years through Arrupe Spiritual Digital Community and the Bellarmine Jesuit Retreat Center where I am now Director of Ministry. I enjoy stand-up paddleboarding, mosaic arts, yoga practice, and perfecting homemade bone broth. My family and I host Northwestern University students through Bridge2Rwanda.

About Me

Spiritual direction was the ministry I needed and couldn't find after years of running myself ragged in ministry. I wanted to be able to trust the whispers of the Holy Spirit when everyone around me was saying something else. In my spiritual direction practice we take ample time to quiet our souls and listen together for what the Holy Spirit may have to say. The gifts that are often available in this space are interior freedom, discernment, awareness of God and his work in your life, deepening prayer and a fresh experience of the trinity just to name a few.

I was trained through Sustainable Faith and am continually sharpening and expanding my skills to include the Enneagram, Ignatian Spirituality, supervision and retreats.

About Me

I am a spiritual director with dual trainings through Richmont Graduate University and Larger Story with Larry Crabb. Because I believe in the mind-body-spirit connection, I am trained in brainspotting, which can be helpful in processing spiritual trauma/abuse, as well as offer deeper connection with God by accessing emotions, memories, and ideas stored beyond conscious thought and language. After 20 years of serving on various church staffs, as well as growing up in a ministry family, I am passionate about companioning both church staff and those who have been hurt by the church. It is a special privilege to witness the stories of others and hold them before God. Working through my own healing process has developed an affinity for others in the process of grieving and healing.

As a spiritual director, I seek to create a calm and welcoming space to explore the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the directee. I believe that the Spirit is the ultimate director and is always at work in the directee’s life, even if the directee is unaware. Using a contemplative model, I follow the directee’s lead in the session as we pay attention together to their spiritual dynamics. As led by the Spirit, or requested by the directee, I incorporate brainspotting, as well as other spiritual practices into the direction session.

I also offer experiences with spiritual practices to groups, such as contemplative prayer, lectio divina, etc.

About Me

Your story and your heart matter. Many things lead an individual to consider a spiritual direction relationship: a longing for deeper intimacy with God, a difficult or transitional season of life, faith stretching questions, or the demands, isolation, and intensity of ministry.

As a spiritual director, my heart will be attentive to God as I companion you. Together we will listen for God and look for His fingerprints on the pages of your story. My prayer is that you will experience God's love more fully and move into greater freedom, healing, and wholeness in Him.

I graduated from Messiah College with a Bachelor of Arts in studio art (1992). I received a Master of Divinity from Biblical Seminary, Hatfield, PA (2004) and I completed spiritual direction training at Kairos: School of Spiritual Formation, Lancaster, PA (2013).

I am also a wife, mother, artist and author. My husband is an attorney and my two daughters are young adults. As an artist I reflect on, respond to, and pray the beauty and the mess of our walk with God through images. I have created three devotional books that blend Scripture, art, reflections, and journal pages and a personal retreat guidebook.
