Spiritual direction is a place you can find care for your soul.

The soul is the space your sacred self dwells. This is the space God sees you clearly and on good days where you see God clearly.

The challenges of life and work can crowd into your soul, overwhelming and depleting you. This can lead to distortion in your perception of both yourself and God.

Spiritual direction is a safe and honoring space for ongoing reflection and processing of your soul's journey. It involves conversations aimed at helping you listen and respond to matters of the soul. The primary goal is to lead you to a deepening relationship with God and self.

I create healing spaces for tired and weary souls, while also fostering spiritual growth for those seeking deeper connections with God. I recognize and understand the interplay of spirituality, culture, and ethnicity working together to form the true self God designed in you.

Freely Receive, Freely Give

Our vision is to see spiritual formation care and resources become vastly more visible and accessible among diverse and underserved leaders and communities. For this reason, we do not charge professional fees when saying “yes” to teaching workshops, leading retreats, speaking at events, or offering one-on-one spiritual direction and coaching. Instead, every recipient of our services is a beneficiary of someone else’s generosity and presented with the opportunity to bless others by paying it forward.
