Hi, I’m Mary!

Accompanying Others. Attending to the Sacred.

For over thirty years, my calling — and my joy — has been accompanying others toward deeper intimacy with God. As a Certified Spiritual Director, Ignatian Director, and Supervisor, I walk alongside ministry and marketplace leaders, missionaries, directors, and hungry hearts, all longing to move through life with greater attentiveness, deeper trust, and an unhurried ear toward heaven.

Spiritual Direction

Still enough to hear Him.

As a seasoned Spiritual Director, I offer a quiet, prayerful space to notice what God is already doing in your life, to hear God’s voice, and to discern His will. My approach is Christ-centered, grounded in Scripture, and guided by the Holy Spirit. I am known for my welcoming presence, sound wisdom, and spiritual discernment. You don’t have to find your way alone.

Ignatian Direction

Paying attention to God in the details.

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius offer one of the church’s richest paths for discernment and a deep encounter with God. As a trained Ignatian Director through Sustainable Faith, I accompany individuals through the 18th and 19th Annotations of the Ignatian Exercises — designed to be undertaken in the rhythms of ordinary life. If you sense this might be your next step, I’d love to discern it together.

Supervision

Those who companion others need companions too.

Supervision is where spiritual directors bring their own questions, struggles, and growth. It is a regular, structured relationship that sustains a spiritual director’s inner life and ministry over the long haul. Explore how supervision supports the health and integrity of your ministry.

Writing

Words attended to carefully become a means of grace.

As a professional communicator, my work over the decades has spanned two worlds—the inspirational market and the world of finance. Both were held together by careful listening, probing questions, and stories that matter. I am currently taking a limited number of assignments for print and online publications.
