Welcome!

​

You may be here for a number of reasons:

• To rejuvenate your prayer life or sense of God's presence

• To strengthen your spiritual heart as you serve others

• To explore other faith traditions and practices

• To seek deeper connection while experiencing a major life transition

Spiritual direction embraces the the notion that it can be helpful to walk with someone on their journey of becoming more fully alive and connected to all that is, to ultimate reality.

​

Spiritual direction usually begins with a simple conversation. You are welcome to schedule a free introductory meeting to see whether it feels helpful. Schedule a brief chat here​

Where Christian and Buddhist centering meet:

​​

I am rooted in the Christian tradition and shaped by Buddhist practice. My journey began in the United Church of Christ, where I sought the presence of God, learned prayer, scripture, and service. Over time, Buddhist meditation revealed the same Presence I had always known—still, compassionate, and alive.

​

​​​The integration of silence, compassion, and presence flowing together—has become a wellspring for my own life and the lives of those I accompany. As a spiritual director, I invite you into practices that nurture awareness of the sacred presence already within you.

​​​

I hold a Diploma in the Art of Spiritual Direction from the San Francisco Theological Seminary and spent years in Zen meditation with Fr. Gregory Mayers at Mercy Center. Along the way, I’ve accompanied people from many backgrounds: church leaders seeking renewal, those in transition, long-time meditators exploring Christian prayer, and seekers with no tradition who long for deeper connection.

Above all, I cherish the still, spacious silence where the True Director leads—sometimes in quiet stillness, sometimes in the dance of the heart.
