“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”

-St. Catherine of Siena

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

We are wounded in relationship, and we are also healed in relationship. That truth is at the heart of everything I do as a CatholicPsych Mentor. Whether you’re carrying heartache, wrestling with doubt, or feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I want you to know: there is hope. In mentorship I help clients understand the parts of themselves that are hurting, so they can grow in freedom, wholeness, and deeper relationship with God and others. You don't have to stay where you are. Even if nothing and no one around you changes, YOU can still heal, grow and experience freedom.

“The more a person grows in the knowledge of the good and in self-conquest, the more truly he becomes free.” -CCC 1733

I became a mentor not because I had all the answers, but because I know what it’s like to feel lost in relationships that are supposed to be safe. My marriage nearly ended in divorce, shaped by addiction and painful disconnection, and the deeper I looked, the more I saw how silence and pretending had marked some of the most important relationships in my life. I’ve wrestled with trust, especially when it came to God, and I've carried wounds I didn’t even know I had. Healing for me has come slowly, painfully, and in layers, but it’s real. I’ve not only seen it as a mentor, but I've experienced it firsthand through the mentorship I received. And that’s why I'm here: to walk with others who are ready for something more.

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’m a Certified CatholicPsych Mentor and a member of my diocesan marriage ministry team, where I help support couples through retreats and formation. I hold a degree in communication from Southwestern University. More importantly, I bring a lifetime of relational experience and interior work that informs how I mentor.

I’ve been a stay-at-home mom for most of my life, and for nearly 20 years, I navigated the often unseen demands of military life, supporting my husband through his service and learning how to stay grounded in the midst of uncertainty and distance from family. Those years stretched me in ways I didn't fully understand at the time, and some of the hardest parts of my story were unfolding beneath the surface.

My two daughters continue to teach me how powerful healing can be when it shows up in every day relationships. The connection I have with them today didn’t come easily. It’s the result of deep inner work, painful honesty, and a commitment to growth I didn't inherit, but chose. That same kind of healing is possible for anyone, and I’ve accompanied people from all walks of life as they learn to rebuild trust, rewrite relational patterns, and choose something new out of what once felt broken. I’ve learned how to listen well, how to create space for others to feel heard, sometimes for the first time. I know what it’s like to suffer. I know what it’s like to doubt. And I know the quiet strength it takes to keep showing up and choosing growth even when it’s hard, slow and painful.

That’s what I offer because that is what I have lived.

“We do not go to God alone; we always bring others with us, either in our heart or on our shoulders.”

-Servant of God Elisabeth Leseur

If any part of this speaks to your heart, if it brings even a glimmer of hope, relief or curiosity, I want you to know: you don’t have to do it alone. Healing takes courage. I’d be honored to walk with 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.
