Her passion extends beyond individual healing. Carolyn is committed to equipping the Catholic Church to better accompany those experiencing marital crisis, separation, and divorce. Through partnerships with parishes and dioceses, she helps develop practical pathways of support, formation, and ongoing accompaniment so that those who are hurting know they are seen, welcomed, and cared for by the Church.
