About Me

Hi. I’m Sandra.

As a Pastoral Counselor, I specialize in providing faith-based care for adult Catholics and welcome all people of good will. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) certified by Boulder Crest Institute in Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG), a Pastoral Care Companion and a Story Work Coach trained by ReStory Institute.  

I’ve devoted myself to this work because I want to give others what I’ve been given. I want to honor the God of consolation, who has consoled me in my afflictions, calling me to console others, using the gifts and consolation He has given me. (2 Cor 1:4)
