Beyond Personality Typing
The Enneagram is an ancient spiritual tool used by spiritual directors, of many faith traditions, to offer guidance to their directees in their journey to Wholeness. It is based on 9 Personality Types and how each operates in the world. Each of us works out of one of the 9 Personality Types, yet we contain all nine types within us.
"The beauty I have discovered about the Enneagram is its ability, as a spiritual tool, in opening the portal to Mystery, to discovering who we are, to Grace, to Presence and Real Transformation. It's a vehicle that lovingly Holds our Saint and our Shadow sides, our Passions and our Virtues. The Enneagram invites us on a Journey of Holy Wholeness by helping us notice our habitual patterns, waking us to our True Self, so we may be more Present in each Moment."

What Is the Enneagram?
The Enneagram is an ancient wisdom tradition that describes nine distinct patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving. More than a personality test, it's a tool for spiritual and psychological growth that helps you understand:
- Your core motivations and what drives your behavior
- Your unconscious patterns and automatic reactions
- Your particular gifts and how they become liabilities when overused
- Your path to integration and spiritual growth
- How you naturally relate to others and the Divine
How Enneagram Work Can Help
Understanding your Enneagram type can illuminate:
- Why certain situations trigger you and how to respond rather than react
- Your unique spiritual path and how you naturally connect with the Sacred
- Relationship patterns that keep you stuck or help you grow
- Your core fears and desires and how they shape your life choices
- Opportunities for growth and transformation
My Approach to Enneagram Work
I integrate Enneagram insights with spiritual direction and healing work, helping you:
- Discover your type through gentle exploration rather than rigid testing
- Understand how your type manifests in your spiritual life
- Use Enneagram wisdom for personal and spiritual transformation
- Apply insights to your relationships and life circumstances
- Develop practices that support your particular path of growth
What to Expect
Enneagram exploration is a journey, not a destination. In our work together, we might:
- Explore your life patterns to discern your type
- Examine how your type shows up in stress and security
- Identify your growth edges and integration practices
- Apply Enneagram insights to current life challenges
- Develop personalized spiritual practices based on your type
"I have found, for myself and others who have been willing to venture into looking at themselves honestly, it is one of the best Spiritual Direction tools. It really holds the mirror for the Directee to see themselves more clearly. Some of the work is painful, but the transformation is beautiful!!! I can attest to this personally!!"
