People who serve as spiritual leaders are often embedded in systems and dynamics rife with projection, high and competing expectations, blurring of relational and time boundaries, differing standards of confidentiality, and sacred as well as mundane responsibilities that many of our constituents don’t recognize or value when not directly impacted
My work with clergy makes safe space for
personal and/or professional concerns
doubts, insecurities, vulnerability, even despair, that may not be comfortably aired or processed in one’s workplace or communal setting
venting, being heard and understood, re-centering, receiving support
consultation on pastoral care issues
addressing burnout, existential overwhelm, vicarious trauma, moral or spiritual distress, emotional strain
exploring or integrating needs, goals, challenges and struggles, hurts, disappointments, hopes, aspirations
accessing strengths, honoring fears and growing edges, acknowledging feelings, nurturing or reclaiming your spiritual life
theological exploration, questioning, articulation
being human
If you seek clinical consultation on a pastoral care issue, or would like to hone your skills in that area, I would be honored to be of service in that endeavor.
Depending on your interests and needs, I am available for a one-time conversation, as well as occasional or ongoing support. I offer both video- and phone-based appointments.
