Spiritual Direction for Your Journey

For those of us seeking the holy, the light of divine love shining in each of us.

Spiritual direction is a prayerful conversation that helps you notice God’s presence in your life, deepen your divine relationship, and discern where the Spirit may be leading.

A Simple Invitation

Are you longing for a deeper relationship with God?


Do you find yourself wondering where the Spirit is present in the joys, struggles, questions, or transitions of your life?

Are you a person of faith, or someone still searching? Are you a University of Wisconsin Eau Claire or Chippewa Valley Technical College student, a member of Newman Parish, part of the Diocese of La Crosse, or simply someone longing for something more? Are you in a season of transition, retirement, or quiet reflection? Are you seeking a space to pause, to listen, and to notice God’s presence in your life?

Spiritual direction offers a sacred, unhurried space to reflect on your lived experience and gently discern God’s invitations. You are warmly invited to explore whether this could be a meaningful part of your journey.

A Companion On Your Journey

As a wife, mother, grandparent, and lifelong learner, my journey has been shaped by both professional work in healthcare and a deep desire to seek God in everyday life. I offer spiritual direction as a quiet, prayerful space to accompany you as you notice and respond to God’s presence in your own story.

A Different Kind of Self-Care

Hands In Prayer

Self-care often gets defined by what we do—but in spiritual direction, it begins with how we receive.

Resting in God’s presence is a quiet, grounding form of care for your whole self. It is an invitation to step out of striving and into grace; to remember that you are not held together by your effort, but by God’s love.

In this space, there is no pressure to have answers. Only an invitation to slow down, to listen, and to be gently attentive to what God may already be doing in your life. Over time, this kind of rest becomes sustaining—a steady place to return to again and again.

A Place To Begin

Wherever you find yourself, spiritual direction can begin in a way that feels comfortable and accessible to you. Whether you prefer a quiet, face-to-face conversation or the convenience of meeting from home, each session provides a steady, prayerful space to reflect and listen. You’re invited to begin with a free initial conversation—simply a chance to meet, ask questions, and see if this feels like a good fit for you.
