Meet Jennifer Frenz

Jennifer is accepting new directees.

Jennifer is a compassionate spiritual director focused on helping people deepen their relationship with God. As a person of faith, she has always felt called to serve others, and finds great joy in accompanying people on their spiritual journeys.  

Jennifer’s approach to spiritual direction is deeply rooted in the teachings of Saints Ignatius. She believes that God speaks to us through our experiences and that we can discern God’s will by paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and desires. In spiritual direction, she encourages directees to cultivate a contemplative stance towards life, to listen for the movements of the Holy Spirit, and to discern how God is calling them to respond.  

Jennifer received her certificate for Spiritual Direction at Sacred Ground in April 2023. She listens without judgment, asks probing questions, and offers gentle guidance and support. She encourages directees to trust their own inner wisdom and to develop a greater awareness of God’s presence in their lives.  

As a practicing Catholic, Jennifer maintains deep respect for all spiritual seekers. Her clients come from a variety of backgrounds and faith traditions. She has companioned all ages, from college students to those nearing the end of life.  

Through her own personal experience in spiritual direction, Jennifer writes “my life has been changed by my awareness of God in all things. Spiritual conversations and reflection have helped me to find God present in my ordinary life: in time with friends, in nature, in service to others, and in suffering. I feel blessed to witness the transformative power of God’s love in the lives of directees and am humbled by the trust they place with me. I see my role as a companion on the journey, a guide who points the way but who ultimately trusts that God is the true director of our lives.”

 Jennifer is open to meeting virtually on Zoom or in person at the Carondelet Center.
