As a spiritual director I resonate with the Benedictine principle of hospitality: “to welcome everyone as I would Christ.” I love to create spaces that are free of shame and open to possibility. My desire is to help you experience God as a real person who is secure, loving, and present; to help you discern God's invitations, corrections, and challenges; and to support you as you take the "leaps of faith" he may ask of you. Spiritual direction means having a hiking buddy on your journey with, and into, God.
I deeply value compassion, forgiveness, truth, and grace, and deeply believe in God's real and physical interaction with the world through scripture, sacrament, and the church community.
I grew up in Colorado and love to live in the tension of paradox. I’m a father of five, a historical theology nerd, a ministry leadership veteran, a family trauma survivor, and a recovering anxiety addict. I welcome directees of all kinds and from all walks of life.
A note on fees: First sessions are always free. Additional sessions are $85. I desire that no one should be denied spiritual direction because of cost. Through the generosity of many donors and other directees, I am often able to offer a sliding payment schedule for those in need. Please discuss your need with me during your initial consultation.
