I am a priest of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix, working in compassionate ministry, with extensive experience in parish life and pastoral counseling, ministry to the sick and dying, and pastoral counseling, family dynamics, and healing ministry. I am blessed to be able to make the GRM available within Mohave and Yavapai Counties with my venues located in the beautifully serene mountain town of Prescott, AZ, and the city by the lake, Lake Havasu City. Our environments foster a healing ambience with the backdrop of an old western town and ponderosa pines high in the Bradshaw Mountains, and the blue-green waters and mountain peaks and canyons of beautiful Lake Havasu City.
I hold multiple Master’s Level Degrees, an MA, Mdiv, in Theology and Pastoral Counseling, and an MS in Mental Health and Wellness with an emphasis in Grief and Bereavement. I offer GRM Group and individual sessions, in a face to face setting. The desire to reconcile layers of loss in my own life has inspired me to seek ways to better understand the perplexities associated with grief and the emotional healing necessary to bring resolve.
I believe in meeting people where they are and celebrating the empowerment of the heart as the GRM is a work of the ❤️, that encourages the interpretation of our heart-strings which we listen to as if they were struming a tune.
It is possible to allow God to work as He chooses, as participants are open to the graces to be encountered, as we walk by faith not by sight in being led out of darkness and into healing’s wonderful light.
I am not a state licensed therapist purposefully, in order to maintain the spiritual nature of the work that often is the key to healing a broken heart, and to bring fullness to the lives I touch through ministry and pastoral counseling and compassionate care.
