spiritual direction
discover The divine at play in your life
Spiritual direction is a practice of listening, with another, for the whispers of God in your life.
Spiritual direction is not about teaching you about God, or giving you advice about what you should do, but directing your attention to how God is already playing behind the scenes in your story. Learn more or book a free consultation.

meet kate
Hello!Trained in a contemplative model of spiritual direction, I offer compassionate space to take a long, loving look at your life and explore your experience with God. As Paula D'Arcy said, "God comes to you disguised as your life." My hope for you is that God's love would meet you in the mess and the mundane, and in the rough and tender places. I have learned that as we experience God's love in our vulnerability, we naturally come to live with more love, without striving or forcing. We become people who have acceptance and compassion for ourselves and others.
I first discovered spiritual direction as a new mom, navigating my faith and identity through postpartum depression. I emerged from depression with an experiential sense of the no-strings attached love of God and an increasing conviction to live from that love, fully and simply myself. As I continue my journey, I am living more deeply into a sense of belovedness, freedom, and delight.
My hope is that you also will experience the love of God more deeply and experience freedom and delight in the gift of being yourself.
reflections from working with kate
“Genuine, wise, and leading by example, Kate understands when it is time to listen and when it is time to speak. Kate always offered a lot of wisdom, but more than that she really cares for your soul.”
— Raina A.“Kate has a gift for creating safe, sacred spaces that welcome honesty and vulnerability. I learned more about contemplative practices and I felt well heard when I shared. My presence was not only welcomed but honored. She helped me focus on being present to God and aware of God’s presence in me.”
— Tricia H.“Kate is such a supportive listener. She made it easy to delve into things I didn’t even know were bothering me. She helped me take a very surface, unclear relationship with God and deepen it so that it flowed into my daily activities, even in something as ordinary as meal planning.”
— Tania L.writing
