Who am I?
With undergraduate degrees in both Psychology and Biological Sciences, as well as my certificates in both Spiritual Formation and Spiritual Direction, I delight in life-long learning.
I love the outdoors and nature, photography, a good book, camping and canoe trips as well as all creatures great and small. I’m a word-crafting prayer poet, as well as an aspiring knitter and an inconsistent runner. I have an interest in spiritual formation, as well as emotional health and how it impacts and connects with our spiritual health. I live with my husband and my three teens and I’ve been a part of the same congregation for over 20 years serving in worship ministry and prayer ministry for many of those years.
The name Three Strands comes from Ecc. 4:12 and refers to the idea that in every direction session there are three members present: the person coming to direction, me, as a spiritual companion, and the Holy Spirit. Current member of the Emmaus Society of Spiritual Directors.
What is spiritual direction?
In spiritual direction, I desire to provide a safe space to provide non-judgmental, compassionate support. I will listen attentively, ask questions and offer contemplative practices to help you get in touch with your God-given, Spirit-connected inner wisdom and navigate the hard parts of life. Through our conversation, prayer and exploration of contemplative Christian spiritual practices, I hope to help you increase self-awareness, self-compassion, and foster spiritual growth in order to live a meaningful and attentive life with your heart tuned towards finding the God-moments in daily life.
$50 / session of 50 minutes.
