• For those who desire to grow in their personal relationship with Jesus Christ

I offer spiritual accompaniment rooted in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Through prayerful reflection on the life of Christ, you are invited to know him more intimately, to love him more deeply, and to discern how you are called to serve God and others. The Exercises are intended to help a person become freer to seek and respond to God’s will in the circumstances of life.

• For those who desire a deeper life of prayer

Together, we can explore forms of prayer from the Church’s spiritual tradition, including Lectio Divina (prayerful reading of Scripture), Ignatian meditation, contemplation, colloquy (an honest, personal conversation with God), and silent prayer.

We can also reflect on how your prayer is unfolding—whether through reading, meditation, reflection, or a quieter, more contemplative form of prayer. Prayer does not follow one fixed pattern, and periods of dryness are not necessarily signs that you are doing something wrong. We can attend to your experience with patience, without forcing a particular method or outcome.

​

• For those who desire to grow in virtue and holiness

I can introduce you to the Examen, a form of prayerful review that helps you notice your day in God’s presence: where you encountered grace, how you responded, and where you may be invited to grow. With practice, this can foster a more reflective and discerning heart and a growing awareness of God’s activity in ordinary life. St. Ignatius also describes forms of examination focused on recognizing patterns and seeking God’s help to amend them.

 

• For those discerning God’s will

I offer an introduction to Ignatian discernment: a prayerful approach to decision-making that attends to the movements of the heart, including consolation and desolation. These terms describe interior movements in relation to one’s spiritual life; they are not simply the same as feeling happy or sad. Discernment involves observing these movements carefully and considering where they lead.

• For those who wish to listen more attentively to God

I draw on my clinical background to explore how our embodied life—including the brain, body, and emotions—shapes our experience. We can also reflect on the traditional language of the soul’s faculties, such as intellect and will, and on the role of imagination and affectivity (our capacity to experience and respond emotionally).
