Spiritual Direction online + in-person

Spiritual Director

Online Booking | Fee: Sliding Scale
I offer spiritual direction sessions online and in person. Being alongside others in their spiritual journey is where I feel most at home. It’s a true privilege to meet people right where they are.
My approach is shaped by my own experiences of doubt and questioning, a trauma-informed and resilience-focused lens, and tools like the Enneagram that invite deeper self-awareness. Together, we make space for you to be more honest (and more gentle) with yourself, and to notice God as active, present, and deeply loving.
My faith journey has taken a winding path, from an eclectic, multi-faith upbringing, shaped by an Evangelical conversion in college, and expanded through liturgical traditions, Ignatian spirituality, and contemplative practices. I hold master’s degrees in Teaching and Christian Spiritual Formation + Leadership, and currently serve as a chaplain with young adults experiencing homelessness. I received my certificate in Spiritual Direction from the School of Sustainable Faith, which forms students in lives of compassionate, discerning listening to God, others, and themselves.
I share life with my husband, two young-adult sons, and our very good dog. I love evenings with jazz radio (shoutout KMHD 89.1), daily walks through the neighborhood + local cemetery, and I’m fully embracing my midlife sourdough era.
If you’re curious about spiritual direction or wondering if this might be a good fit, I’d love to connect. You’re welcome to reach out with questions, or schedule an exploratory session (calendar below).

In their words…
“Monica creates a loving, non-judgmental space where I can question, share my fears, and explore my root struggles. She helps me quiet my mind to connect with God in a way I sometimes can’t do on my own because my thoughts are moving too quickly. I am so thankful to have Monica guide me.”
“Breathe into me the restlessness and courage to live in Your Kingdom and make something new.”
Ted Loder
“Faith today is not enough for tomorrow. It must be constantly renewed by a conscious act.”
