About Me
It is a joy to companion with people in this beautiful work of the Holy Spirit where we discern what, where, and how God is moving. Listening to my directees fills me with wonder and awe at how our mighty, creative, and loving God the Father, the Spirit, and our Lord Jesus personally engage with us. My call to spiritual direction started before I knew there was such a ministry when I’d titled myself a ‘spiritual midwife’. The professions that have crafted me before becoming a spiritual director including thirty years as a master’s prepared registered nurse and fifteen years working with multi-national software development teams. I completed a two-year graduate certificate program at the C. John Weborg Center for Spiritual Direction at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago in 2022. Brenda sees women and men online around the globe, and women in person in the Seattle, Washington area in the USA.
I’ve been married for more than thirty-five years to Jim and we have two sons, one living nearby, and one in heaven. I was privileged to be involved in leadership with Bible Study Fellowship for ten years. I volunteer at my church where I currently serve on the Elder Board. I have a strong creative streak and love to write music and lyrics for musical theater. I’ve also experienced the personal heartbreak and grief of a loved one’s mental illness, addiction, and incarceration. It was this heartbreak that eventually opened the door for me to enter the ministry of spiritual direction. I offer a complimentary session (in-person or online) for anyone interested in seeing if we are a fit.
