The world is thy ship and not thy home.

-St. Thérèse of Lisieux

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

Sometimes it can be difficult to recognize the voice of God amidst our wounds and sins. Mentorship is a journey toward freedom from those obstacles that impede your capacity to love God, yourself, and others as He commanded. It is not an easy journey. But I will reverence every part of your interior life, holding your story with you, to help you uncover meaning, gain clarity, and take steps toward healing and integration.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5

In my clinical practice, I have developed a deep passion for serving those who struggle with emotional dysregulation, failure to launch, depression, anxiety, and complicated family histories. My hope is that you will encounter the beauty of the IDDM model, which integrates the psychological sciences with the richness of our Catholic faith. Through this approach, I can accompany you in your sufferings as we discover what Christ has in store for your healing journey.

the world needs a catholic standard of mental health

“Everyone, in fact, especially those who have heeded the divine call to follow Christ closely, needs to be accompanied personally by a guide reliable in doctrine and expert in the things of God”

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 am a certified Mentor and Partner with the CatholicPsych Institute, having completed doctoral-level studies in psychology, as well as studies in Catholic anthropology and spirituality through the CPMAP program.

I am trained to accompany you daily in your deepest struggles — emotional, spiritual, and relational, as you carry your Cross. This hands-on apprenticeship follows my bachelors in theology from Providence College, and includes rigorous ongoing formation and studies as a Lay Dominican and student at the Ignatian Discernment Institute. I have spent most of my life in the pursuit of truth and have treasured every minute of accompanying others both as a missionary and mentor.

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.
