Talking to an ally is never supposed to be a substitute for therapy .

​

It is important to find ways to express your feelings. Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive person can often make you feel better. As your ally I will be there to listen to you and help you sort through the challenges and obstacles you face.

About me

​

I am a mother of a 22 year son in college, which has been my greatest blessing. I was born and raised by mother and my grandparents in Venezuela. I  attended school in Venezuela and in the United States where I lived for several years. My time is now divided between the two countries that I love very much. I

was married at a young age for 7 years to a wonderful father to my kid, during which time I lived in England. I've been lucky enough to have learned to navigate a good relationship with my ex-husband. Having my grandfather as the strongest pillar in my life taught me the importance of having a good role model, and perhaps was the motivation to work in giving my son that same relationship with his father. I know first hand the struggles of divorce and rebuilding a relationship for the benefit of your child. Not always easy, but very possible and in doing it I have developed interpersonal skills for doing so.

​

Life has taught me  through great losses, the most difficult one losing my mother who suffered from mental illness. I know first hand how mental illness affects not just the sufferer, but the ones that love them, especially the caretakers. My mother's life was an inspiration to me despite its difficulties.

If you have been handed this card in life you are not alone.

​

Life has blessed me in many ways. I have had the opportunity to, share with different cultures, grow through hard times and rejoice through good ones.

I have strong bonds with my friends. I can be neurotic and zen. I am an animal lover and I am a women that at the end wants the same thing most of us want, love, understanding and growth. I have gone through difficult times but it has made me stronger.  What makes me happy is being someone that friends and others can count on.

​

 I am happy and honored to have you share your story with me and allow me to be a witness to your growth and an ally to you.
