Tim is a broad based, open and affirming Christian originally raised in the Catholic Church.  He has been active at both the UCC Congregational Church and Holy Redeemer Immaculate Conception churches in Newburyport and West Newbury, MA. Tim was inspired to pursued Spiritual Direction after experiencing moments in his life revealing a common reality: many individuals seek to nurture their spiritual lives but lack a clear path to do so. This group often includes those who identify as Spiritual but not Religious.

Spiritual Direction provides a dedicated space to explore and reflect on your experience of God—the divine, the sacred, or the holy—in your life. In the midst of busy schedules and a complex world, it's easy to overlook, dismiss, or rationalize moments where you may have encountered God. This practice is designed for those who wish to deepen their intentional relationship with God. A helpful initial step is cultivating awareness of when God is present in your life, as well as thoughtfully considering times when God feels absent.
