An invitation to move toward love, peace, and friendship with God.
Hi, I’m Jen.
As a spiritual director with 18 years of pastoral ministry experience, I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming, prayerful space for you to share your story and bring your whole self — questions, doubts, hopes, and all.
In addition to 1:1 spiritual direction, I offer workshops, retreats, and soul care experiences — designed to help you slow down, take a deep breath, and move toward love, peace, and authentic friendship with God.
If you’re looking for a space to explore your life with God without pressure, I’m here to support you.
“The soul speaks its truth only under quiet, inviting, and trustworthy conditions.”

1:1 Spiritual Direction
Spiritual direction is a practice that helps you notice the presence and activity of God in everyday life.
It's an invitation to attend to your friendship with God in a space of hospitality and open-hearted, prayerful listening. My approach to spiritual direction is grounded in the belief that God meets us right where we are.
If you're seeking to deepen your connection with God, are navigating a time of change or discernment, wrestling with difficult questions, or experiencing a shift in your faith, spiritual direction is a meaningful practice to explore.
