My path into spiritual direction grew out of my own experience of faith shifting and unravelling, and a deep longing for companionship in what often felt like a lonely wilderness. Originally from the USA, I have lived in Canada, Scotland, England, and Wales, and my vocational path has been similarly winding. Before becoming a parent and spiritual director, I worked for many years as a therapeutic social worker across three countries and a range of settings, accompanying people at many different stages of life. As a full-time carer and a late-diagnosed neurodivergent woman, I often found church communities difficult to navigate, and over time, I found myself living outside familiar religious structures. Spiritual direction is a place where questions are welcome, uncertainty does not need to be fixed, and we are met with care rather than answers.

I am most alive in conversations with people who are living into a deep and holy, “yes!” to being their full and authentic selves. Many of the people I accompany are navigating faith transitions, neurodivergence, caring responsibilities, or identities that have not always been fully welcomed in spiritual spaces. I am committed to offering a queer affirming, anti racist, and inclusive space, while continuing my own learning and accountability around liberation and justice.

What matters most to me is that those I accompany feel deeply held by Love. There is no need to bring a polished or spiritualised version of yourself. I am comfortable sitting with doubt, grief, and darkness, and I trust that Love is present and at work even and maybe especially in ambiguity. I hope to offer a space where people can bring the whole of their lives, knowing that all of who they are is already known and welcomed by God.
