I was born and raised in Colombia, South America. After finishing high school, I moved to the United States to attend Mercyhurst College where I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Business administration. Fueled by a passion to learn more, I furthered my education at Gannon University earning a Master’s Degree in Counseling. While my education process was challenging from a language, culture and classwork perspective, I found joy connecting with my peers through my involvement in sports and community building.

Professionally, I worked with children and adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, parenting skills, career and employment transitions, and communication. After 21 years as a therapist, I decided to make a change in my professional life and started a business where I managed a busy medical practice. .

Continuing my desire to grow and support others, I became a certified Life Empowerment Coach through the Jay Shetty Certification School. I am helping people find their own path for success and happiness. I describe myself as an empathetic, caring, and a sensitive person who has a wide range of life experiences. I am committed to help you recognize your strengths and weaknesses that will help you highlight areas for your growth. Together, we will find your passions that align with your values to define your life’s purpose.

I have observed people change their lives and rise above obstacles during 20 plus years of counseling experience.

I am a certified life empowerment coach trained to assist and empower individuals to refine their goals, set a purpose, and live fulfilled lives. Clients are equipped to reflect and progress to realize their hidden potential through client and coach dialogue. How does one move from where they are to where they want to be? This may mean working on your core beliefs and values along with strategies to confront challenges, and learning to succeed personally and professionally.
