Welcome!
Meet Bryce
Spiritual Director, MDiv, BCC
Hello! I have created this website with the belief that those who are meant to meet one another will. I’m glad to have met you here!
My life is a journey to experience how the Sacred erupts into our personal and collective lives. I find myself grounded in the Western Mystery traditions and open to where the Sacred calls me. A mystic at heart, I combine my deep-held love for the Ineffable with my training in clinical spiritual care to offer empathic, connected, and embodied spiritual support.
I have a Master of Divinity degree and professional certification in Spiritual Direction. I am a board-certified chaplain working in hospice care, grief support, and one-on-one spiritual direction. My approach to spirituality is best summed up as interspiritual. I work with clients from any and no formal faith or spiritual background, providing them space, time, and techniques to access what is most meaningful and orienting in their lives.
I’m committed to providing ethical spiritual direction in accordance with Spiritual Directors International’s Guidelines of Ethical Conduct.
What is Spiritual Direction?
Also called spiritual companionship, spiritual direction is a relationship that deepens how we connect our bodies, minds, and spirits to what we hold most sacred in our lives. A trained spiritual director holds judgement-free space for the client to explore their spiritual relationships—these may include relationships with God, gods, ancestors, ethics, and deeper senses of self. The spiritual director offers noticings, reflections, and suggestions for how the client may continue to deepen these relationships. Spiritual direction has roots in many ancient and modern cultures, religions, and wisdom traditions.
What do you mean by ‘spiritual?’
I mean ‘spiritual’ here in its broadest sense. Spirituality is the practices and deeply-held convictions that connect us to what makes life most meaningful. What we find spiritual are the moments, people, relationships, and understandings that focus our awareness on those deep wells of existential meaning. What is spiritual for one person may not be spiritual for another.
What do you mean by ‘direction?’
In my work, ‘direction’ means navigation. As a spiritual director, I’m not orchestrating your spirituality. Instead, I’m coming alongside you to navigate the depths and breadth of your spirituality with you.

Starting the Journey
Are you interested in deepening your spiritual relationships and understandings? Are you looking to expand your spiritual practices, like prayer and meditation? Maybe you’re in a season of grief or exploring who you feel called to be in this world. Maybe you’re taking your first steps on a new spiritual path or looking to reinvigorate a path you’ve long trodden. Or, maybe you’re just unsure of it all and need a space to be heard and seen as authentically you. After all, being human is hard.
Whatever the case may be—whatever has brought you to this space—I’m grateful that you are working to claim what you need. If I can be of any assistance to your journey, please consider scheduling a free 30-minute consult via the button here. This relaxed conversation will help us get to know one another and to explore if working together may be helpful for your spiritual journey.
Journey to the Ninth Wave
Mediaeval Irish wisdom tells us that when we sail to the precipice of the ninth wave, we come face-to-face with the Otherworld. Here we ride the liminal waters that mix the conscious and unconscious realities, and we encounter truths so deep that they can only be told of in poetry and art. Sitting astride the ninth wave, we call into the Sacred Infinite and it dances before us. Spiritual direction encourages you to set your boat upon the seas and to journey to the edge of your own soul’s ninth wave.
