“I plead with you-never, ever give up on hope…There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already carried for us and does not bear with us now. Be not afraid!”

- St. John Paul the Great

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

I hope finding CatholicPsych Mentorship is as much a blessing for you as it has been for me! It would be an honor to hear your story and walk with you to discover greater peace, healing, and meaning in your life as God created you to live. There is a reason for hope! 

“Jesus is living next to you, in the brothers and sisters with whom you share your daily existence.” St. John Paul the Great

As a certified mentor, it’s my joy to be trained in the CatholicPsych Model of Applied Personalism based on the philosophy of my hero, St John Paul II. With this foundation, I approach mentorship with the most complete understanding of the whole person as God made us–body, mind, and soul–integrated with the best of what modern psychology has to offer. From here we can discover who you really are and what might be holding you back from who God created you to be.

the world needs a catholic standard of mental health

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 Catholic husband and father of seven including both adopted and biological children. I’ve spent 15 years working in ministry focusing on men’s ministry programs, marriage and engaged retreats, and confirmation retreats. I was an international missionary and a high school theology teacher. I’m a builder, landlord, and entrepreneur. I’ve worn many hats in life, giving me a unique ability to connect with people from many walks of life. No matter the hat I wear, I have always found the most meaning in walking with others and building relationships. 

Mentorship gives me the opportunity to accompany people everyday, helping to heal their wounds, break down barriers, and move them toward greater freedom, joy, and purpose as God’s beloved. I would love the chance to work 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.
