I was raised by a single mother whom immigrated to the states with 3 children. Being a Latina and living a multi-cultural life of Hispanic and American culture, I struggled to understand who I was as an individual. We live in a world that constantly tells us what we should look like, how to act, and even who to be. These messages often prohibit us to move forward or find our own identity. Being a rebellious teenager myself, I struggled in understanding the reality of my own potential as I battled with living with depression and anxiety. The importance of having a voice, and feeling empowered came after many hard life experiences due to impulsive choices or uncertainty of who I was as a person.

 Experiences have taught me that failure is how we learn. Being a teen mother and facing adult decisions became overwhelming. Being a victim of domestic violence, rape, and drug abuse has taught me the realities of the world we live in. One of the hardest experiences I’ve had is placing a child in an open adoption. I am not perfect, I am human. I have learned who I wanted to become, and still struggle. I finally understood the importance of understanding our own thoughts, feelings, and behavior. I don’t always get it right but it’s a start. 

Enough about me. I want to know all about you and help you navigate to your full potential as a human being!  Let’s work together to understand your world. Tell me your story and where do you want to go, or maybe that’s something we can figure out together.
