Hi, I’m Julie. I’m a spiritual director (who isn’t directive), an ordained minister and a chaplain with over a decade of experience, who is passionate about helping people develop the capacity to listen to the Still, Small Voice and notice the small graces in everyday life.

I’m a Certified Dementia Practitioner, a Certified Montessori Dementia Care Practitioner, and a Grief Counselor-Certified (not clinical or licensed mental health expert, but I would be glad to refer you to one). In previous chapters of my life, i’ve been a lifeguard, pool operator, swim coach and swim lesson instructor, a youth minister, and a marching band instructor (and still do this every fall with a local high school!).

I graduated from the Haden Institute’s Spiritual Direction Certification program and am currently enrolled in their Dreamwork Certification program. In addition, I have my Masters of Divinity, a Bachelors of Music in Music Education (flute and voice), and a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies.

My husband Jeff and I live in Virginia, where he serves as a chaplain.

When I’m not companioning folks, I enjoy reading, collaging, writing, playing in the local pops band, and taking photos with my iPhone when I get excited about the little things around me.

I look forward to connecting with you if you feel so led!
