We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures; we are the sum of the Father’s love for us and our real capacity to become the image of his Son.

–Pope St. John Paul II

I'll help you unpack the burdens you are carrying.

Through years of walking with others in marriage, friendship, therapy and spiritual direction, one truth has become unmistakable: God is never absent. He meets us in moments of deep peace and in the places that feel unbearable. Often, it’s in the very parts of ourselves we’re most afraid to face that His presence becomes undeniable. No one should have to face those places alone.

"In the therapeutic encounter, the client is invited to break through the inauthentic masks of daily life and to encounter his own existence in its concreteness and immediacy, leading to a profound sense of personal responsibility and creative possibility." –Adrian Van Kaam

Integrated Mentorship

We know how God made you, why you're stuck, and how to get you unstuck

The mentorship model I provide allows me to walk with you in full view of your whole humanity- your body, mind, and SPIRIT. We are trained by the CatholicPsych Model to understand you through the lens of Faith, Reason, and Science. This is the ONLY way to really know you, and how to help you.

A Daily Model

Accompaniment modeled after Christ should meet you in the context of your daily life, just like He does.

We help you understand and experience the work of God in your life. And even if you struggle with, or don't even believe in God, we can help you to experience how Goodness, Truth, and Beauty are pursuing you in the context of your lived life. You don't have to compartmentalize your "self-care" away from the rest of your life - I'll be with you every day, to walk with you as you are making your way through whatever real challenges are presented to you.

What are your qualifications? 

I graduated college with a degree in economics and landed what most people would call a dream job: trading stocks for a seven-billion-dollar hedge fund. On paper it was perfect. In reality, I spent my days fascinated less by the markets and more by the unspoken tensions rippling across the trading floor. I started asking myself a quiet, persistent question: Is this really where I’m meant to be?

The Lord answered in His usual unmistakable way: He gave me a husband and, one after another, seven children. Suddenly I was exactly where my heart had always wanted to be: the person my husband turned to at the end of a hard day, the one my friends called in crisis, the safe place my children ran to with every joy and wound. I was living the vocation I’d sensed from the beginning.

And I was drowning.

I wasn’t sleeping. I was frazzled and short-tempered. I was praying and attending daily Mass, but I felt like I was unraveling.

That’s when Dr. Greg introduced me to Catholic Mindfulness–my first taste of the CatholicPsych approach. Finally, I understood what it felt like to be fully present to the people I loved. Something in me exhaled.

That small taste turned into a hunger. I began formal study in the Catholic Psychology Model of Applied Personalism, originally just so I could be a better wife and mother. But the deeper I went into theology, anthropology, and the breathtakingly beautiful Catholic vision of the human person, the clearer another call became: this work isn’t only for my own family. It’s for you too.

Today I spend my time doing what I have longed for: sitting with my mentees in the deepest rooms of their hearts. It is a staggering privilege to be invited there. I don’t take it lightly.

If you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk with you as you take the next brave steps toward that first exhale and discover the flourishing that the Lord has in mind for you.

What exactly is Mentorship?

Mentorship (technically called Integrated Daily Dialogic Mentorship, or IDDM) is neither traditional counseling nor spiritual direction, but occupies a unique space in between those two fields. Mentorship is daily accompaniment, looking at you and your story as an integrated whole, examined at your pace, with the goal of finding happiness and holiness in your life.
