Spiritual Direction

Spiritual Direction is a ministry that intends to help others discern and respond to the work of Christ in their lives for the purpose of spiritual growth, transformation into christlikeness, and inner healing.

My heart is for you to be heard and held in whatever season you are currently walking in, as that is how Jesus is responding to you. Whether this is a time of heartache or a time of celebration, or a time of feeling lost, I know there is nuance to being understood and prayerfully perceiving what God may be up to in your life. I hope to be a place for you where that nuance is valued and held with care. 

 

I believe transformation comes as we learn how kind God truly is and how loved we are by Christ. It comes as we learn how the Spirit is speaking in our lives in both the ordinary and extraordinary and  we can walk in more freedom, love, and truth. It is while we shed the micro and macro lies that come up in everyday life circumstances that we get to see the beauty of the reality of our maker and the intimacy we have with Him and feel liberated to understand and be obedient to His will for our lives. 

 

Background:

I gained my master’s from the Institute of Spiritual Formation at Biola University. Jesus miraculously healed so many areas of my heart during this time and I attribute the tool of Spiritual Direction to be a huge part of that journey; my hope is to allow for that same healing space for you. I've been in professional ministry for 9+ years as a Youth Pastor and Worship Leader. I'm particularly passionate about college students, as well as teaching on prayer to all ages. Prior to this training, I lived in NYC attending The New School University as a dance and choreography major. I'm very passionate about the arts, music, visual art, poetry, theater etc., and have found artistic expression to be a profound tool to connect with God. My husband is a professional dancer and cajon player and we love getting to do artistic projects together. My family are all Christians and involved in the arts or ministry professionally. We are very close and daily sharpen each other to walk in righteousness. We are committed to powerful and loving communication and strive to be an example of this and to lead others into doing family well, especially healing through trauma and brokenness. Wherever in life you’ve experienced hurt, whether be it broken dreams, church hurt, or pain within your family, I promise God can heal the deepest wounds... I've seen it!
