As a spiritual director, Laura believes that spirituality is inherent in all people. 

Rather than providing explicit advice or counselling, a spiritual director offers deep listening, helping you navigate through the distractions of anxiety, negativity, and worry.

Spiritual direction sessions are your time to share your experiences in a safe, affirmative, and collaborative space. Laura can help you connect more fully with your deepest values, beliefs, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.

You might seek different outcomes from spiritual direction depending on your circumstances or stage in life.

  • Discovering the deeper meaning or purpose of your life

  • Revising your core values

  • Integrating spiritual practices into everyday life

  • Working through a crisis of faith

  • Reimagining your images of God

  • Reflecting on your life in later years

  • Discussing relationship conflicts

  • Processing grief and loss

  • Processing depression, PTSD or trauma

  • Learning how to apply your gifts and abilities

  • Healing after being rejected by your faith community 

  • Experiencing emotional healing through prayer

  • Deepening self-awareness using the Enneagram

  • And for those in ministry, support (including pastors) in a confidential space

WHAT PASTORS ARE SAYING

“Laura is a grounded and nurturing guide whose presence embodies the heart of the Gospel. Her wisdom, attentiveness, and gentle humor create a space where growth and discernment flourish. I am deeply appreciative of her guidance and consider the time we shared an integral part of my training.”

IMMANUEL PRAYER THERAPY

Immanuel Prayer Therapy is a transformative prayer technique which offers emotional healing and aids in the development of a richer prayer-life. This is technique is not limited to a specific faith or set of beliefs. Laura has witnessed profound changes and growth in both herself and many others over a decade of practicing this method.

“I came to Laura for personal Spiritual Direction after having been to several of her group workshops over the years. Looking back, I see that I was longing for healing from years of spiritual abuse in my formative years and the ongoing suffering I experienced by being triggered in religious settings throughout the rest of my life. Laura was able to make space for my pain and helped me gain the courage to trust my own inner experiences and intuitions of Spirit within me.

I attribute a measure of the peace I enjoy today to those sessions with her.”
