Spiritual Direction

In Spiritual Direction, your sacred story has a confidential place to unfold and be honored as you describe your spiritual journey—your struggles, joys, losses, and milestones. Sharing your life story opens your heart and soul to God’s Love and Presence where true healing and wholeness can transform you. Spiritual Direction is a safe space to listen and reflect on God’s invitations and callings in your life.

My Spiritual Direction Experience

I consider it an honor to listen with the Holy Spirit while guiding others along their spiritual journey to a deeper awareness of God’s loving presence in their daily lives.

I received my Certificate in the Art & Practice of Spiritual Direction at the Mercy Center and co-led an Exercises of St Ignatius group, which both enriched my own spiritual transformation.

I have been practicing since 2018 and have experienced the profound way in which the Holy Spirit enlightens the sessions with wisdom, discernment, freedom and joy!

Through the process of spiritual direction, I will walk alongside you as a “holy listener” and …

  • Meet with you on a regular basis (once/twice a month) as a companion on your faith journey

  • Prayerfully listen to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and direction for you

  • Guide you to become more fully aware of God’s Presence in your life

  • Help you discover inner freedom and spiritual transformation

  • Explore various Spiritual Formation Practices such as: Lectio Divina, Visio Divina, Prayer of Examen, and Breath Prayer

  • Discern with you God’s calling and invitations for your life

Client Testimonials

Z.M., Menlo Park

“Patti’s wisdom and understanding of God’s word has been instrumental in my spiritual growth. Through our work together I have been able to achieve a spiritual rhythm that keeps me grounded in God’s truth. I am grateful for our mentor/mentee relationship, and excited about new discoveries to be revealed.”

J.M., Menlo Park

“Six months into the pandemic I was isolated, lonely, and struggling spiritually. With the nudging of the Holy Spirit, I realized that I needed Spiritual Direction and was paired with Patti. We’ve been meeting for two years and I am becoming more spiritually connected, fulfilled, and supported. Through Patti’s gentle guidance, I am in tune with the leading of the Holy Spirit in my life and walking more closely with Jesus. Patti reminds me that I am the Beloved child of God. My mantra has become, ‘Choose Joy.’”

I offer a sliding fee scale based on your personal circumstance. We will have a 15-20 minute introductory phone call before meeting in person or by Zoom.

Each session is about an hour and the fee varies between $60 - $100, depending on your situation.

“Spiritual Direction cultivates the deep places of your spirit where the Holy Spirit creates a ‘new sacred thing’ within you.”
