As an LPC-Associate and LCDC-Intern, supervised by Lorraine Saldivar, LPC-S, LCDC, I specialize in Catholic-based counseling, with a focus on serving the young adult population. My approach is deeply rooted in the Catholic understanding of the human person, recognizing each individual’s inherent dignity and value. I aim to provide a compassionate space where clients can explore their emotions, process experiences, and grow spiritually. While traditional counseling is highly effective for many people, it might not be the perfect fit for everyone. That’s where a more creative approach can make a difference. My use of expressive art therapy allows clients to engage creatively in their healing process — no need to be a professional artist! Whether you enjoy painting, drawing, clay sculpting, or other crafts, this approach offers an alternative and effective path for self-exploration, self-expression, and personal growth. Navigating stress and trauma can feel overwhelming, but healing is possible. As an EMDR in-training practitioner, I’m here to guide you through a proven, compassionate approach that helps untangle the past and create space for a brighter future. Whether you’re feeling stuck, weighed down, or just ready for healing, I’m here to walk alongside you with care and support every step of the way.
