In the clamor of today’s world, how does one uncover True Self, the unique, unrepeatable person that God created you to be?

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

What experiences have shaped who you are today? Do you ever wonder why God permits such profound struggles in your life? Do you believe it’s possible to discover peace in the most difficult moments?

Trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be.

- St. Teresa of Avila

Consider Mentorship: I am specifically trained in the CatholicPsych Model of Applied Personalism. We will engage daily to develop a deep and safe space where you can explore your past, your present, your relationship with the loved ones in your life, and with God. It is through relationship that we are wounded, and through relationship that we heal. Mentors integrate insights from sound psychology, Catholic anthropology, and Catholic spirituality while accompanying an individual. Through this holistic approach, Mentors can help a person navigate life's challenges and deepen their understanding of themself in the context of their faith. Mentorship is more than psychotherapy – we value each person’s inherent dignity and individuality, and encourage exploration into your unique, lived experiences through a lens of compassion and faith.

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?

With a decade of experience working in the Archdiocese of New York, I have passionately supported  individuals and families through life's challenges. Focusing on bereavement ministry, particularly  with grieving parents, I have coordinated dozens of in-person and online Emmaus retreats and  trainings since 2017, accompanying those navigating the complexities of loss. I have also taught parent education programs and organized parent support groups, presented youth suicide-prevention education, and taught religious education to second-graders. I would be honored to accompany you on your life journey.

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.
