SPIRITUAL DIRECTION

Unwind during a gentle, open-ended session in which I give presence to your experiences, offer personalized music, poetry, literary passages, and prayer, and curiosity to bring you closer to yourself

Spiritual direction feels like coming home to yourself. I listen deeply and ask evocative questions to facilitate that soul remembrance.

My holistic approach is rooted in Unitarian Universalism’s pluralistic, interfaith orientation. My sessions rest within this inclusive container, while my psychosynthesis training integrates your human development with the sacred, and my humanities background in comparative literature and art history selects words and images curated to you.

We are likely an excellent fit if:

  • You are a religious, spiritual, or creative leader. Whether crafting a sermon, deepening and staying in touch with your own faith, or nimbly managing operations and interpersonal dynamics, I provide a calm, caring, confidential space for the vulnerability of your heart. I know it can be lonely at the top. I served as the right-hand woman for Silicon Valley nonprofit leaders, and am thrilled to bring this experience to support ministers, mediums, pastors, board members, chaplains, and visionaries at the helm of congregations, hospitals, or institutions.

  • You’re a fellow chronic illness warrior. You’ll receive infinite value in meeting with a practitioner who just “gets it.”

  • You’re a natural medium. I know all too well the struggle to become and embody the “whole medium,” as my mentor’s mentor Mavis Pittilla says. The key is befriending and understanding your own soul 🤍

  • You’re actively dating. The way to your life partner is a spiritual practice ✨

  • You’re a nature empath. We’ll keep nurturing that connection through nature-based practices from my training in Druidry and The Work that Reconnects 🌱

  • You’re undergoing an intense spiritual awakening, or processing a near-death experience. What a rollercoaster this can be! I validate and affirm your experiences, help you stay grounded and integrated with your humanity, listen to what your soul may be communicating, and connect you with resources to explore. The absolutely integral support I wish I’d had during a very tumultuous time! 

  • You love literature. Close reading brings forth so much! Through the contemplative practice lectio divina, we’ll read poetry, prose, passages, even books together and speak about what the language evokes for you. My sweet spot as a CompLit major! 🤓

  • You’re new to spirituality, dipping your toe in, open to where your inquiry may lead. I’ve explored many practices and traditions under the sun on my quest to seek spiritual belonging, so am full of resources and ideas, but most importantly, nonjudgmental understanding. My down-to-earth yet whimsical approach keeps your growth accessible, fun, and tailored to you. 

  • You’re in the midst of discerning your way through a creative project, life transition, decision, or romance, but can’t quite put your finger on that still, small voice guiding you from within. I listen deeply and ask evocative questions to nudge it forth.

  • You identify as a lightworker, but aren’t sure how best to express your gifts. The world needs them, I promise! I help you shine ☀️⭐️

Please get in touch to schedule a half hour meet-and-greet to discern whether we are a mutual fit.

I look forward to learning more about you!

GRIEF COMPANIONSHIP

Share your grief with a peer also living through it for 15+ years

Explore secondary losses; shifting friendships and family dynamics; underlying triggers; fluctuating belief systems; navigating poignant dates like birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries; feeling meaning and purpose again; and many other topics. All kinds of grief welcome 💙 

We are likely an excellent fit if:

  • You’ve cared for a terminally ill parent as a young adult, and are intimately familiar with death well before your peers. I’m acutely aware of the utter absurdity that exists within these situations.

  • You’ve endured the agonizing loss of a dream. Oftentimes our loved ones and peers, though well-meaning, simply just don’t understand. With me you’ll feel heard and seen in the fullest expression of this classic disenfranchised grief. (And it’s a true honor to carry on this space inspired by a dear mentor who held it for me ❤️)

  • Fellow chronic illness warriors grieving the loss of identity, financial security, independence, relationships, the future, and so much more. I get it!

  • You’re navigating family estrangement. Our immediate family may not necessarily be our soul family. I’ve got you along this painful, isolating path to redirect rejection towards tending to your soul and embracing your inherent value. Cycle breakers unite! 💪

  • You’ve survived betrayal. Whether your life was upended through infidelity, divorce, Machiavellian colleagues, or family who were supposed to have your back, I help you process and feel your way forward in the aftermath.

Please get in touch to schedule a half hour meet-and-greet to discern whether we are a mutual fit.

I look forward to learning more about you!
