My Background & Training

My spiritual roots are of the Christian tradition, although I no longer claim affiliation with any organized religious community. The term I prefer to use to describe myself is “spiritually independent” and my personal theology draws from a variety of faith and wisdom traditions.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Liberal Studies, with an emphasis in psychology and sociology from Middle Tennessee State University and I completed two-year certificate programs in both Spiritual Direction and Dreamwork from the Haden Institute. My training is deeply rooted in Jungian psychology and mystical Christian tradition. I am also a trained SoulCollage® Facilitator.

I also have specialized training in and experience with the Enneagram, Myers-Briggs Typology, 12-step recovery, and a variety of creative modalities employed for the purposes of self-discovery and personal transformation.

What to Expect

A Spiritual Director is a companion who serves as a compassionate, non-judgmental witness to the unfolding of the individual’s spiritual journey. My role is to offer a safe and flexible container for the seeker to explore their whole self in relationship to the Divine. As you share your sacred stories, your dreams, and your deep questions, we listen together for the movement of Spirit and discern where the Divine may be leading.

I believe the Divine most often speaks in images and metaphor and find that dreamwork, poetry, and a variety of intuitive creative practices such as SoulCollage® can be useful tools to aid our listening. If any of these modalities are of interest to you, we can discern together how best to incorporate them into our sessions.
