What I Offer
For over a decade, I’ve walked alongside people through the moments that ask the most of them. I bring two disciplines to every conversation — coaching and spiritual direction — plus group facilitation for teams and ministries that need to find clarity together.
Coaching
As an International Coach Federation Associate Certified Coach, I help you get honest about what’s really standing in your way, help you set a plan you’ll actually follow, and you’ll leave each session more confident than when you arrived.
Coaching only works if you have something to work on, and you’re the one who does the work — I listen, affirm, and ask the questions that help you find your own answer. Clients have brought me things like:
• Getting over the death of a spouse
• Wanting to become a trained, certified spiritual director
• Moving out of a house lived in for decades after losing a partner
• Finding support through a job transition
• Figuring out what they really want to do next
• Leaving a profession behind for something entirely new
Each session ends with a plan of two or three concrete next steps and a time frame — so you leave knowing exactly what’s next, not just how you feel about it.
Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a one-on-one conversation about your relationship with God — a confidential space to talk about faith, doubt, grief, or a sense that God is asking something new of you. You don’t need to be far along in your faith to benefit from it, or even certain what you believe. People typically come to spiritual direction when they’re:
• Resolving an event that has shaken their faith
• Grieving a loss or a death
• Working out what they really believe about God or about life
• Walking through any kind of crisis
Sessions usually open with prayer or quiet time and close the same way. Between sessions, I might offer a practice to sit with — a daily devotional, journaling, scripture reading and reflection, or a spiritual practice like lectio divina* or labyrinth walking.
*Lectio Divina (Latin for "Divine Reading") is a traditional monastic practice of scriptural reading, meditation and prayer intended to promote communion with God and to increase the knowledge of the Bible.
Group Facilitation
I provide group facilitation for ministry teams and small groups that are stuck, or simply need every voice heard in order to move forward. My background in corporate project management taught me that a team almost always already knows what it wants to create — the work is drawing out that clarity until the whole group is enrolled in getting it done. I also coach groups (see coaching above).
