I’m a Certified Mentor through the CatholicPsych Institute’s CPMAP program, trained in Catholic anthropology, integrated psychology, and spiritual accompaniment. My formation is also shaped by decades of professional experience in education, including teaching, leadership, and special education. I’ve supported families during vocational discernment, worked with students on the autism spectrum, and navigated cultural transitions myself—both through studying abroad and working in diverse communities. These experiences deepen my ability to meet parents with empathy and respect, while drawing on training that integrates the spiritual, emotional, and relational dimensions of the human person. While I’m not a licensed therapist, I offer mentorship that is rooted in truth, guided by faith, and grounded in reverence for each person’s unique story and dignity.
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.
