My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Like many of you, I come with a colorful life story full of love, betrayal, healing, failure, and transformation. I use a blend of life experience, integration of body mind spirit, circle process, and my degree in clinical mental health counseling to support you in accessing your inner healer. ​ My lived experience is not just my own, but that of the transformations I witnessed in the ups and downs that my family and friends goes through. I was born and raised in Northern Virginia. I am half Salvadorean and half Bolivian, born to two kids fresh out of high school who raised me with the village of my Grandparents, Tia's, Tios, cousins, and my four amazing siblings. I am the eldest daughter and granddaughter on both sides, a blessing and a curse.
