About Stacey
As a grief care leader and full-time caregiver to an adult daughter with special needs, I have discovered, with the Holy Spirit's help, my calling to come alongside those who desire to experience God’s presence in their ordinary lives. I encourage others to press in hard to find the ever present, loving gaze of Jesus. In the simple practice of listening, we are both able to notice where the Triune God is at work. This sacred space is a gift to be invited into.
I believe spiritual practices center our souls to receive and reciprocate the love of Jesus Christ for the sake of ourselves, others, and the Triune God. Spiritual direction is a container for that kind of Hope-filled transformation. Meeting with my own spiritual director, attending retreats and trainings, or simply slowing down to notice the thin spaces of God at work in my own life, allow me to attend well to those I walk with.

What Others Have Said:
“I loved participating in spiritual direction with Stacey. I found each session provided me with the opportunity to connect with God in a way I would not have without the prayerful direction that Stacey offered. It reinforced in me the value of meditating on scripture and responding to it through journaling. The questions she asked in response to my reflections were very insightful and demonstrated she was leaning on the Holy Spirit to direct our conversation. It was such a gift.”
What Others Have Said:
