Biblically Grounded Spiritual Direction with Crystal McGowen
My name is Crystal McGowen and I am a trauma-informed Spiritual Director and Christian Counselor based in Portland, Oregon.
If you are at all here, you may have grown up in church and have a head knowlege of God's love. But, somewhere along the way, life got messy and the questions, doubts, and fears of the heart became harder and harder to ignore. Maybe those thoughts made you doubt your faith, or your ability to attend church, or even your relationship with God. I believe that wrestling with these kinds of questions and listening to your doubts is exactly where God wants to meet you and where your faith will grow.
It's my pleasure to walk with men and women on a journey of inner healing and wholeness as they embrace what it truly means to live from a place of connection and trust with God.
