about me

Spiritual Direction provides holy ground to sit with your story, accompanied by a companion who sees you and listens to your questions, heart, and soul - while inviting you to a new awareness of God’s transforming presence. Cultivation of moment by moment awareness of the Trinity fosters acceptance of your Belovedness from God. 

Spiritual direction is not the same as mental-health therapy. While therapy focuses on mental health, coping strategies, and emotional healing, spiritual direction is about deepening your awareness of God’s grace and redemption in your life. 

It’s not about fixing problems but rather creating space to reflect, listen, and explore your spiritual journey, discovering how to integrate suffering and problems into a meaningful relationship with God. DeAnn curates a safe and gentle space to invite growth and opportunity to encounter the Holy Spirit’s invitation to you.

Each spiritual direction session addresses your desires for your spiritual journey. Each 50-minute session with DeAnn cultivates time for reflection, deep listening, and spiritual exploration. DeAnn offers flexibility when it comes to your session. You can meet in person, virtually, or while walking in the beautiful outdoors of Colorado Springs! 

DeAnn will accompany you in attentive, compassionate conversation, helping you notice and respond to the Holy Spirit’s presence in your life. Sessions are guided by your journey—there’s no agenda, just space to be seen, heard, and supported.

Spiritual direction is an ideal path for those actively seeking God’s deeper presence in their lives. It’s especially helpful for individuals who are wrestling with doubts and questions about who God is, the Bible, and their spiritual journey. If you’re navigating seasons of loneliness as a busy parent, feeling exhausted, or longing to slow down and find peace, spiritual direction offers the simplicity of spiritual rhythms to reconnect with God.

It’s also for those who may be searching for their true identity, experiencing parent/adolescent conflict, or longing for more clarity on sensing God’s presence and hearing His voice. If you’re struggling with disappointment, loss, or grief, or feeling trapped by consumption, addiction, and longing for something more, spiritual direction offers guidance, healing, and a path toward transformation.

In each session, DeAnn's goal is to steadily guide you from a place of busyness and confusion to quiet, stillness, and inner peace, where God’s presence becomes more tangible and His voice more clear. Whether you’re facing challenges, seeking clarity, or desiring to deepen your spiritual life, spiritual direction is a pilgrimage for anyone open to growing closer to God.

DeAnn’s spiritual direction is grounded in the Christian tradition and rooted in the rich understanding of the Holy Trinity—God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Her sessions offer a space to connect with God through prayer, reflection, and discernment. She draws on biblical teachings and timeless spiritual practices to help guide individuals toward a deeper, more intimate relationship with God.

Whether navigating life’s challenges, asking big questions, or seeking spiritual growth, DeAnn provides a Christ-centered approach to greater awareness of God’s presence and clarity in your life.

DeAnn would love to join you on your group or family retreat, or separate special gathering!

DeAnn offers travel sessions for families, ministries, groups, and teams, creating space for spiritual growth, connection, and renewal away from daily distractions. She can oversee group sessions for shared reflection and healing, provide individual spiritual direction, or lead an Enneagram Deep Dive for deeper self-awareness and relational understanding. Whether your focus is personal growth or group unity, DeAnn tailors the experience to meet your needs.

Group spiritual direction fosters deep connections within a community, where individuals are seen, listened to, and loved by others and learn together to listen to God in their everyday lives.
