Be Transformed

Are you seeking deeper interior peace and lasting freedom?

Mentorship offers you a journey of accompaniment that is consistent, dependable, stabilizing, and truly transformative.

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

As a Certified Mentor and Partner with the CatholicPsych Institute, I am uniquely trained to help you explore, navigate, and heal from emotional, spiritual, and relational wounds and challenges—regardless of your age, vocation, or state in life. My approach, rooted in the profound principles of Pope John Paul II’s philosophy of the human person and authentic psychology, is undergirded by Catholic anthropology. Unlike traditional therapy, my mentorship provides a flexible, virtual connection that promotes efficient progress, deep change, and enduring results through daily dialogue.

"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

With 38 years of professional and ministerial experience, I bring a wealth of life knowledge and compassion to our work together. I have been married for 33 years and am blessed with three adult children and a grandson. My journey began in the corporate world of retail merchandising and management, before transitioning to a successful career in interior design, where I specialized in creating transformative spaces tailored to my clients' needs.

However, God had a greater plan for me. Following a profound reversion to my faith, I felt called to serve individuals and couples in a more holistic way—addressing the mind, body, and spirit. For 12 years, I served the Church through sacramental Marriage Preparation and Marriage Enrichment alongside my husband. I furthered my studies at Divine Mercy University in their Spiritual Direction Certification program, and in 2022, I completed the CPMAP certification program, undergoing intense study of the psychological sciences, clinical training, and expert supervision.

Now, I am prepared to accompany you on your journey of healing and transformation, helping you to set and achieve meaningful goals that will lead to true and lasting change.

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.
