GET TO KNOW ME

I am a lifelong Catholic with a heart for serving the faithful by providing passionately Catholic psychotherapy services.

Throughout my life, my faith in Jesus Christ as practiced through Catholicism has been a grounding and consoling constant that has guided me through life's trials.

It is my desire to share the gift of the faith and assist others in integrating the Catholic faith and psychological principals to bring about psychological healing and greater intimacy with God.
