“In my deepest wounds, I saw Your glory, and it dazzled me.”

–St. Augustine

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

The Lord wants to transform and renew your heart, your relationships, and your story. There is no history too complex, no sin too overwhelming, no wound too deep, that Christ did not account for on the Cross. His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians). God writes straight with crooked lines as the saying goes, and He desires to pour His mercy and healing grace over your life- past, present, and future.

As a Certified Mentor trained in the CPMAP program, it is my true privilege to walk with you in any season that you currently find yourself in need of daily accompaniment and healing, while also particularly called to work with those who find themselves in a season of discernment in dating or engagement, those navigating blended families, step-parenting or complex family relationships, those desiring deeper healing and accompaniment in marriage and those wading through the waters of early parenthood in need of a lifeline and accompaniment in motherhood as they live out their vocations and seek deeper hope, healing and transformation in this particular season.

“There is no cross to bear that Christ has not already borne for us, and does not now bear with us. And on the far side of every cross we find the newness of life in the Holy Spirit, that new life which will reach its fulfillment in the resurrection.”

-St. John Paul II

Do you believe true, lasting inner peace is possible even in the midst of your suffering or struggles? Do you believe that God truly wills your freedom and restoration? Do you believe that the joy of the Lord is not only possible, but what God desires for you? I will hold these truths with you as we journey together and collaborate with the true Healer, the Holy Spirit, and explore your story together. I will gently walk with you as we access these sacred places within your own heart, and in your relationships with others and the Lord, allowing the Holy Spirit to illuminate these different parts of you that deserve to be seen, heard, loved, and ultimately transformed and restored in Christ.

the world needs a catholic standard of mental health

“Everyone, in fact, especially those who have heeded the divine call to follow Christ closely, needs to be accompanied personally by a guide reliable in doctrine and expert in the things of God”

~Pope Benedict XVI

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 Certified Mentor with the CatholicPsych Institute, trained in the Catholic Psych Model of Applied Personalism (CPMAP). I have been rigorously trained in the psychological sciences, steeped richly in St. John Paul II’s groundbreaking philosophy of the human person (personalism), while rooted faithfully in the teachings of the Catholic Church.

This model of mentorship that I practice truly aims to see the whole human person as God does, not overlooking the mind, the body, or the spirit, but integrating them all in practical and powerful ways in order to help bring you to a place of true wellness, peace, and freedom. While not traditional therapy, this model of mentorship brings an even more thorough, encompassing and personal experience of accompaniment to our relationship as I bring the best elements of- psychology, spirituality, and a uniquely Catholic anthropology- to this accessible and daily journey 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.
