My practice is to meet clients where they are. Some may have firm beliefs and practices, others questioning, or perhaps without faith. It is my privilege to listen deeply to questioning, struggles, wonderings or the celebration of the Presence of God in their lives. My spiritual direction is evocative in nature, using well considered questions to facilitate individual growth and development.

The practice of spiritual direction, or sacred listening, is a beautiful way to deepen your spiritual connection and identify the movement of God in your life. I’m a Spiritual Director trained through Prairiefire and the Sisters of Mt. Saint Scholastica with many years of contemplative spirituality. I am located in the Des Moines area and welcome directees in person or zoom.

For the past 20 years I have been exploring my own spirituality, and especially in the last 10 years have encountered many wonderful spiritual practices of others, and resources (with help from the PrairieFire spiritual direction program over the last 3 years) which have deepened my path tremendously. I'm a practicing Christian and welcome anyone seeking direction, no matter what religion/denomination you align with. I am located in Ames, IA, though am happy to meet virtually if that's your preference or if distance demands it.
