Description:

A typical spiritual counseling or mentoring session lasts an hour and is conducted at my home office in North Portland. In each session, the agenda is yours: You bring whatever you wish to discuss or process. I will listen, ask questions, or offer insights, stories, metaphors, or challenges—always within a framework of acceptance, support, and compassion—to move you deeper into your own experience. In some traditions, this approach is called “spiritual direction,” or “soul-friending” (“anam cara”). Any subject is "grist for the mill": career, dating, sexuality, spiritual process, communication, creativity.

Mentoring typically involves a standing monthly appointment. The ongoing nature of mentoring supports a very deep, enriching life, which some people refer to as spiritual.

Different from coaching, which is goal-driven, mentoring is soul-driven.

Spiritual mentors and spiritual counselors are different from traditional psychotherapists insofar as we take a specifically spiritual focus. In addition, much psychotherapy is focused on addressing a particular problem or pathology, whereas we embrace life issues as notable opportunities for us to work with the Divine—however we regard that force—toward healing and wholeness. (Psychotherapy is appropriate for many people, and I will refer to psychotherapists when appropriate.)
