There’s something about the adventure and promise in a season of transition. I have spent years standing in the growing process with people. Sure, they are hard moments and often filled with questions, doubts, and fears. We all have these moments; I’ve had these moments.

You are not alone!

Have you gotten caught up in focusing on something or someone else and just pushed your thoughts or feelings aside? Or maybe just buried them? Many times I was invited into the ups and downs of my students, their families, my coworkers, or the larger community. A death, a divorce, a diagnosis would strike and my heart and attention would focus on bolstering up those affected. I would end up pushing aside or burying my own experience because “it was supposed to be about them.” Recognizing this tendency in myself, I began to notice how others carried their heavy loads; lovingly caring for others, not even realizing that they were neglecting their own needs. I felt a call to support those who are struggling with these heavy burdens and found that by training to be a Mentor, I would be equipped to accompany individuals in any walk of life.

So, if the question, “but what about me?” is welling up in you, I’m here! My goal is to see, hear, and understand you so that you can regain the strength, clarity, and peace to journey on. If you’re looking for accompaniment, I’m a trained Mentor and am here for you.

Mentorship Can Help With Thought Loops

It's not about me. (but what about me?)

I'm so good at taking care of others and meeting their needs, but that comes at a price. How can I make sure that I'm getting the support I need?
It's not that bad...

If I keep saying that "it's not that bad," will it make it true? What can I do to make it better? Is it worth it to try and make change? How do I start?
Is it just me?

Is anyone else feeling the same? Thinking the same? Experiencing the same thing? I'm feeling alone in this experience, and really want to connect with others. How do I do that?
How do I keep my faith here?

At work, school, with friends or family, I feel like I need to put up defenses and protect my faith. How do I find freedom to live the faith in my circumstances? How might my faith enhance where I am?
Not again!!! Why???

Why does this always seem to happen to me? What is going in the world that things like school violence keep happening? Will it ever be safe? This is happening, so what do I do now?
I'm looking for more!

Things are okay or even good in my life, but I feel like there's more for me. What could that be? How do I start?

FAQs

What is Mentorship?

Mentorship (officially called Integrated Dialogic Daily Mentorship, or IDDM), is daily accompaniment via voice messages on an app. This integrated approach finds a space where personal, professional, internal, and interpersonal worlds meet. It’s a view of the whole you!

What is your training?

I am a certified mentor through the CatholicPsych Institute. In the CPMAP program (CatholicPsych Model of Applied Personalism), I received rigorous academic and practical skills training that included anthropology, spirituality, and psychology. With this knowledge and experience, I’m trained to see and hear you where you are!

The word Catholic comes up a lot, why?

For me, it’s important that you understand that I am grounded in the wisdom and understanding of the person from the Tradition of the Catholic Faith. However, out of deep respect for the dignity of each person, I want to meet you where you are and help you grow in ways that will help you flourish in who you are.

Are you a licensed therapist?

While I am not a licensed therapist and cannot diagnose, or prescribe medications, wherever you are in life, I would welcome the opportunity to get to know you and help you beginning with where you are. My goal is to see, hear, and understand you so that you can regain the strength, clarity, and peace to journey on. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we can do that together!

“Will she understand me and my unique situation?”

As each of us experiences unique moments in our lives, sometimes it is reassuring to discuss with someone who understands.
Here are some of my unique situations:

o Working in a self-contained special needs classroom, I learned so much from the children with autism I got to know. In joining the child where their thoughts and imagination were opened to me, I learned how to discover the uniqueness in each student, building relationships with other students, teachers, family, and community. Additionally, I understand the joys and struggles parents, family, and friends experience.
I have spent years in schools teaching, mentoring new teachers, collaborating with colleagues, building teams and working with the community. I value education, but I value the people I encounter more.
o Not only have I had the experience of working with international students and families in the US, but I've also experienced what it is like to be an international student. In my undergrad, I studied in rural Central America, and for my graduate degree, I studied in a college town in Europe. I was immersed in the language, culture, and experience of a new place.
For many years, I worked on the campus of a Catholic School and was invited into a Spiritual Family. I witnessed what it was like to grow in faith and to help others grow in faith.
o I was regularly around those discerning vocations and their desire to understand single, married, religious, and consecrated life. I was able to support those discerning a vocation to the priesthood (diocesan and religious) and those discerning a consecrated vocation. In this natural process of discernment, many discerned a married vocation and I was able to support them as they moved back home to continue on that journey.
I think that one beautiful outcome of volunteer and mission work is a new perspective. Many times after the work is over, I’ve learned something about myself, discovered a new talent, or uncovered a question. I’ve been there and have explored these new perspectives and strove to integrate the lessons into my life.
