“One healed spouse can change everything.”

Mentorship for Catholic Marriage & Formation

Every season of marriage brings its own challenges—and invitations to grow.

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

Whether you’re newlywed, raising children, or navigating the empty nest, you’re not alone in the struggle—or the hope. Real change is possible when you begin within.

I mentor individuals in all stages of marriage, but I specialize in walking with those in Pre-Cana through the first five years. This is a tender and formative season—where healing, clarity, and growth can take root in powerful ways.


You don’t have to wait for your spouse to get on board.

Transformation begins with you.

Through daily, one-on-one mentorship, I guide you through a healing journey that integrates Catholic faith, sound psychology, and practical tools for lasting change. Together, we bring hidden wounds into the light, restore emotional clarity, and build the spiritual and relational maturity needed to love well—for life.

Not Therapy. Not Coaching.

This is professional Catholic mentorship—rooted in who you are and who God is calling you to become.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." Romans 12:2

I’ve been married for 34 years and am blessed with three adult children and a grandchild.

With more than a decade of experience in marriage preparation and enrichment, I’ve walked with countless couples through every season. This work is deeply personal and profoundly hopeful—because I’ve seen, again and again, what God can do.

You were made to love with freedom, maturity, and grace.

Interior work is not self-help—it’s self-gift. 

Let’s begin.

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? 

As a Certified Mentor and Partner with CatholicPsych Institute, I am trained to help you explore, navigate and heal from emotional, spiritual and relational wounds and challenges - whatever your age, vocation or state in life. Married 33 years, with 3 adult children and a grandson, I have 38 years of professional and ministerial experience. I spent the first 15 years of my professional life working in the secular world of corporate retail merchandising and management, and later as a self-employed Interior Designer.

Ultimately, God would be calling me out of the secular world of interior focus, to work with individuals and couples with a more integrated approach of ongoing conversion of the mind, body and spirit. I went on to serve the Church in multiple apostolates, 12 of those years primarily dedicated to sacramental Marriage Preparation and Marriage Enrichment. I studied at Divine Mercy University in their Spiritual Direction Certification program. In 2022, I joined the inaugural class of the CPMAP certification program. After intense study of the psychological sciences and clinical training, with expert supervision, I am prepared - to accompany you and set goals for your internal focus, of healing and transformation.

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.
