Frequently asked questions.

Spiritual direction is spacious accompaniment.

It’s like making dates with your soul: set-apart times to listen deeply to what’s happening on the inside.

What we do in spiritual direction is very ordinary: we enter into presence and the flow of relating. I am with you as you listen for the still small voice within. I hold space through ordinary times and through seasons of celebration and loss.

Here are some ways that may look: listening, mirroring, gently excavating your experience, and keeping an eye on our pace so we don’t overwhelm your nervous system.

You can share what you are noticing, reading, learning, and listening to, and explore what is alive. You can ask questions—I will hold them with you.

We can sit in silence together. We can listen to music together.

With your consent, I can guide you in a practice during our session, or we can explore practices for you to try in between sessions.

I offer two session lengths. We can start with what you are drawn to now, and adjust over time.

60-minute sessions — $85

A steady rhythm for spacious accompaniment. This can be a supportive cadence for ongoing “dates with your soul.”

90-minute sessions — $125 (deep listening)

When you’re moving through a season of transition, complexity, acute grief, or when you’d like more time for silence, practice, or gentle excavation.

The first step is to schedule a free exploratory session‍.

You’ll choose a time first, and then you’ll be prompted to fill out a form to tell me a bit about yourself.

Yes.

Spiritual direction is a fertile atmosphere for the inner life—space to nourish what is tender, emerging, or not-yet-clear. Our time together doesn’t center beliefs or doctrine; it centers presence to the raw material of life as it comes: obscurity, pain, longing, wonder, delight, intuitive sensing—everything belongs.

Becoming who we are is a slow, steady, non-linear process. You don’t need to have it figured out to begin; we simply return, again and again, to what’s true in your direct experience.

I meet with clients on Zoom, and I also see clients in person on Vashon Island. Some clients prefer phone calls, but I like to begin face to face as we’re getting acquainted.
