Spiritual Direction Rooted in Monasticism
For those seeking deeper awareness of God’s presence in everyday life.
About
I offer Christian spiritual direction in Canton, Ohio and throughout Northeast Ohio, as well as virtually. Spiritual direction is a space to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and grow deeper in your relationship with Him.
My own journey began in the Charismatic movement, but over time I found myself drawn to the wisdom of Christian mystics and contemplatives throughout church history. That path eventually led me to the Order of the Common Life, a modern, ecumenical community reimagining monastic life for everyday people.
Today, my approach to spiritual direction is shaped by both streams—the openness to the Holy Spirit found in the charismatic tradition and the depth, attentiveness, and quiet listening of the contemplative path. I believe God is always at work in our lives, gently inviting us toward healing, freedom, and deeper union. Spiritual direction becomes a space to notice and respond to those invitations. I especially feel drawn to those who are spiritually curious, experiencing dryness, or who have been wounded by the church.
I live in Canton, Ohio, where I work as a property manager for Hershberger Properties, LLC. I am a vowed member of the Order of the Common Life and received my training through their Apprenticeship in Spiritual Direction. I regularly attend and serve at Common Life Church.
