“When I have been listened to and when I have been heard,
I am able to re-perceive my world in a new way and to go on.
It is astonishing how elements that seem insoluble become soluble when someone listens,
how confusions that seem irremediable turn into relatively clear flowing streams when one is heard.
I have deeply appreciated the times that I have experienced this sensitive, empathic, concentrated listening.”
―Carl R. Rogers

Each week I have openings to meet one-on-one with you for Spiritual Direction, Supervision or a more directed time of Discipleship/Mentoring or an Immanuel Prayer Session. A complimentary first conversation is available to see if it’s a good fit for us both and to go over some logistical questions you may have. You can simply email me to find a time that will work for us to meet. I also offer online sessions through Zoom.
