About Me

I have the privilege of experiencing both cultures, I was born in the United States a descendant of Puerto Rican parents. My counseling career began over 25 years ago while serving in the United States Army, where I had the opportunity to listen to Soldiers share their personal challenges. This repeated experience pointed me to purpose and my own personal "Aha Moment". As a result, I decided to pursue an education in counseling to master the art of effective listening enabling me to meet my clients where they are supporting them in reaching their "Aha Moment" and walking alongside them on their journey to restoration. As a Minister of Counseling commissioned by Iglesia Una Esperanza Viva-Columbia, I am honored to witness the transformative process guided by the "Great Counselor" Himself.
