It is my privilege to journey with directees on their paths toward embracing the Holy. Besides formal training in spiritual direction, I also hold a Master of Pastoral Studies from Loyola University-New Orleans. Background is also steeped in education (Ph.D.), retreat work (group and directing individuals in the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius), workshops, social justice advocacy, centering prayer, and liturgical music. My ministry is inclusive and ecumenical, including welcoming those who are exploring/embracing LGBTQ+ issues. Located in Marrero, Louisiana (New Orleans metro area). Willing to conduct sessions via Zoom if necessary. brad@balconsulting.org
