I am a Spiritual Director, offering honored listening where together we focus on your spiritual experience to help you discern what is true for you and how to bring that truth to life.
A genuine, robust spiritual life in any non-harmful tradition creates a dependable, unchanging foundation for encountering life’s ups and downs. In my long career helping people recover from eating disorders, it was apparent that the people who had the benefit of an active spiritual life were much more resiliant and recovered more easily than those without. Whether you are just beginning to explore or have many years of observance or practice, sharing with a skilled spiritual director will ground and deepen your experience.
My background includes years of teaching meditation and hatha yoga. I teach basic Buddhist teachings internationally as a lay practitioner.
