A safe space that is supported by
and aligns with your Catholic faith.
Navigating life’s challenges while searching for support that aligns with your culture and faith can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Este espacio esta dedicado a ti.
Luz de Luz Counseling’s mission is to provide a space for women who have undergone a multifaceted experience, characterized by a deep sense of faith, resilience, a love for their culture and community, and a determination to pursue their dreams often amidst the complexities of cultural adaptation, patterns of generational trauma, and complex identity formation.
We specialize in integrating your mental and emotional wellness needs with your cultura and the faith. Understanding the importance of family, community, and cultural identity in Latino communities is a pillar of my work. I ensure my approach is sensitive to these values, recognizing how they influence my clients' experiences and perspectives.
At the same time, I strive to practice from a place of cultural humility being aware of my own limitations to understanding my clients’ cultural background and experience. My approach involves an interpersonal stance that is client-oriented regarding your cultural background and unique experience.
Therapy offers a safe and confidential space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Catholic Therapy offers an opportunity to integrate Sacraments, prayer, Mass, the Saints (to name a few) with scientific, evidence-based therapeutic modalities. No matter where you are in your faith journey, we seek to find the Truths of who you are in Christ. If you haven’t prayed in years or feel incredibly far from God, that’s okay, you’re welcome here.
Our goal is to create a supportive environment where you can address issues related to family dynamics, cultural expectations, faith and every part of your life. We can address mental health concerns such as anxiety, grief, trauma or relationship issues, while honoring the challenges of acculturation and identity formation as a woman of color.
Perhaps you are first-generation or second-generation grappling with the complexities of life. Therapy can provide a holistic framework for growth and transformation that honors your sacred life journey and your relationship with Christ.
Christ, through the gift of counseling, can provide unique support to endure even the most challenging circumstances with grace and resilience. His illumination guides us to Truth. He shines his light on the work of counseling, the sacred work of inner healing.
Sharing your light (instead of diming it) glorifies the transformative
power of God’s love and grace.
