A New EverAfter stands at the intersection of wisdom and wonder. I chiefly employ the dynamics of the Enneagram in order to help you explore your own motivations, innate gifts, patterns of behavior, and unique stumbling blocks.

The wisdom of the enneagram is then contained within a psycho-spiritual framework built from Jungian psychology, philosophy, spiritual formation theory, religious studies, the new sciences, and consciousness studies. Similarly, I engage the inner self through pathways to the unconscious and the wonder of spiritual discovery. 

These blended elements help to increase self-awareness, develop multiple intelligences, connect to the body's innate wisdom, and expand your capacity for love and compassion in order to foster a truer sense of alignment.

Similar to traditional therapy, Spiritual Direction invites conversation around events and circumstances in your life. 

However, Private Sessions with A New EverAfter help you not only challenge dominate problematic stories that prevent you from living your best life but widen your perspective by considering alternative viewpoints. This process allows you to see your life story as you currently understand it as well as the meaning that you have assigned to circumstances and events. Transformative listening allows us both to compassionately inspect your narrative and change how you might understand yourself and the world around you. What's more, we consider the role that your Divine Understanding might have in considering new perspectives.

Spiritual Direction with A New EverAfter opens the door to the deepest wisdom of all -- that which you hold in your heart already, that which you can discover for yourself. By coming to more fully understand your story, you can become empowered to improve it. The purpose of Spiritual Direction is to intentionally and compassionately unfold what is already within you in order to live a life of greater connection and meaning.

My approach is contemplative, compassionate and accepting. My role as your Spiritual Director is to be a thoughtful guide and facilitator to help you learn about yourself, your origin story, your desires and motivations, and your patterns with others. I see Spiritual Direction as an opportunity for reflection and growth. Together, we lovingly examine the mortal misconceptions that impede your ability to live fully, happily, freely and peaceably.

I help you to see more than just external actions, but invite you to look deeper at your soul and what is happening there that is driving your choices and actions. Through the compassionate examination of what lies beneath the surface of your life, you are then able to move forward with a clear and peaceful mind, a truer sense of fulfillment, and a free and expansive heart.

I utilize a variety of tools for Spiritual Direction: storytelling, therapeutic conversation, play, contemplation, Jungian thought, divination, consciousness studies, dreamwork, energy medicine, and the creative arts, all to aid in the healing journey.  

As your Spiritual Director, I help you to notice who you uniquely are and lovingly guide you toward your unique place within the cosmic story.

You have three options for meeting in private session:

1) Online. When you schedule your Spiritual Direction session, you will be given a unique and private link to the video platform Zoom in your confirmation email.

2) In nature. Northeast Ohio residents have the opportunity to select "Wander & Wonder" when they schedule a private session. Spiritual Direction sessions are held while walking within the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Directees have the option of selecting which part of the park to meet.

3) In Person. Local residents also have the option of meeting for private sessions in my Northeast Ohio counseling space. You may select this option when you schedule your appointment. The address will be sent to you in your confirmation email.

Updated 4/2020: There are no in-person appointments available due to the COVID-19 global pandemic

Some find that the pathways of Tarot, Reiki or Energy Medicine, Soul Writing, Akashic Records, Past Life Regression, Astrology, Mediumship, and other mystical traditions further their search for meaning. As such, you are welcome to request the use of these tools within your private sessions.

However, if you desire a full, in-depth Intuitive Reading, it is best to schedule a private 50-minute reading

If you are unsure of your needs and desires with regards to using these tools in the context of Spiritual Direction, it is best to speak with me about it in session or during your first Discovery Call.

Directees receive indefinite spiritual care within a monthly subscription-based program called The Study. This program begins at select times within the year, so you will want to inquire as to when The Study opens during your complimentary Discovery call.

If you are in immediate or intensive need of care, there are private sessions available through a six-session Spiritual Direction package, single session Intuitive Readings and Overnight Retreats. You can learn more about those offerings within your Discovery Call.

To those in need of Death or Grief Care, I offer immediate companionship and guidance on a sliding scale of payment. To notify me of your need, please contact me at [email protected]

I will respond same day.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by the many offerings available, but are eager to start your new journey, contact me today for a free Discovery Call. For 20 minutes, we will discuss your needs, hopes and fears, and what you’re genuinely seeking in life. Together, we will come up with the best course of action for you to get the results that you desire. Schedule a Discovery Call...
