Practice Info

Bio:
When I work with a client, I view them through the Lens of the Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person. This is a beautiful document that was the foundation of my faithful Catholic education at Divine Mercy University's counseling program. The Catholic Christian Meta-Model of the Person was developed by Divine Mercy University faculty and founders and is widely viewed by the Catholic counseling community as the most comprehensive conceptualization of the human person as viewed through the the lens of Catholic anthropology, psychology, philosophy, and theology.
