Profile: As a practitioner, I am grounded in a contemplative spirituality that honors, learns and draws from the sacred wisdom of women, bodies, nature, psychology, history, and tradition. My personal spirituality has been formed by an ongoing journey towards greater integration. Some of the words I use to help express my way of being in the world are contemplative, introvert, highly sensitive person, empath, without children. These traits or aspects of my life have been difficult to own and celebrate in some religious settings and American culture at large. This gives me a big heart for those who struggle to feel a sense of belonging because they don’t fit into a prescribed mold. I grew up knowing a judgmental and exacting God, but the gradual discovery of a gentle and compassionate God has helped me learn to welcome my whole self with kindness and love. This practice of self-welcome continues to slowly transform my experience not only of myself, but also of my spirituality and relationship to others. A longing to share this experience of God and spirituality with others is is what brought me to spiritual direction and companionship. As such, my commitment to you is to hold you in warm, compassionate, loving, non-judgmental space as you explore your spiritual past, present, and future – and what it means for your special and singular life. As a spiritual director, I have been formed in the contemplative Christian traditions of Benedictine and Ignatian spirituality. I receive nourishment from these spiritualities, and from Christian mysticism more broadly, as well as from the beauty I experience in nature, art and life-giving relationship.
