Jessica is accepting new directees.

A number of years ago, I traded a too-tight faith and a legal career that never fit quite right for an invitation to live spaciously. In the process, I found myself held in and transformed by deep Love.  I delight in finding God in the most surprising places, whether I’m playing with color and images, writing a poem, gardening, reading, or sharing in a deep conversation.

I grew up in the evangelical world, but have now found a home in Ignatian spirituality, which is a way of being in the world that sees and experiences God in all things, is grounded in God’s love, and engages our entire selves as we discover the ways that God is inviting us to show up and love the world we live in.

I love holding space for others as they explore their deep longings, big questions, faith shifts, search for meaning, and relationship with the Holy.

I completed my spiritual direction training with Sacred Ground in 2019 and also completed Sacred Ground’s 8-week course for directing the Extended Ignatian Exercises. Recently, I loved teaching in Sacred Ground’s first semester for its spiritual direction and formation program, where we explore contemplative practices, image of God, and spiritual story with fellow seekers. And I am honored to currently serve as Sacred Ground’s Program Coordinator.

I live in Farmington, MN with my husband and our three children. I am happy to meet with directees on-line or in-person in the south suburbs or at Carondelet Center in St. Paul.
