Hi, I’m Carmen.
Mom, CBT/DBT/REBT Certified Life Strategist, Best Selling Author, and Advocate for Victims of Narcissistic Abuse.
My mission is to help women undo destructive thought & behavior patterns, so they have the confidence to defend their boundaries, find their voice, and live in alignment with their authentic selves. My personal experiences in overcoming narcissistic abuse and codependency are what fuels my passion for this work.
With over 20 years of education, training, and extensive personal and professional experiences in Mental and Behavioral Transformation, I use a combination of Strategic Intervention, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy to deliver powerful, meaningful, and long-lasting results for my clients.
Do You Find Yourself Asking…
- Why am I a magnet for bad luck?
- Why do I always attract the most toxic people?
- What more am I supposed to learn from this lesson?
- How am I supposed to dig myself out of this rut?
- Is this really it for my life?
- Why can’t I get motivated or stay positive?
- Why is happiness so effortless for others but not for me?
- How can I succeed when family/friends always discourage me?
- How do I escape all of this pressure?
- What am I supposed to do to completely change my life?
You Had Enough, Took Responsibility, and Made a List of Everything You Want in Your Life
- A partner in life who is also your best friend and biggest fan. Someone who motivates you to take your strengths and talents and do something amazing.
- Be completely present and engaged in your life.
- Eliminate limited mindset and receive a mindset of abundance.
- Effortlessly attract and surround yourself with amazing people and opportunities.
- Living in peace and excitement because good things always come your way naturally.
- Days that are not limited by time – where you get everything done without feeling rushed or overwhelmed
- Feeling truly fulfilled and accomplished when you complete tasks and reach goals.
- Financial security doing what you love and enjoy.
- A thriving business that you truly love and believe in.
- Travel parts of the world you’ve always dreamed of.
- Experience all you want from life without having to choose one over another due to money, time, or energy.
Then You Took Massive Action and Went All In
- You read all the popular self help books, found that you deserve to be truly happy, and learned to step into your value.
- You practiced positive affirmations first thing in the morning and right before you fell asleep.
- You listened to mindset podcasts and watched every motivational video you can find to remove the blocks that keep you from being happy or successful.
- You walked away from negative people and eliminated toxic relationships.
- You studied the law of attraction and read about manifesting what you want.
- You identified and focused on the things you can control and practiced acceptance over things you don’t.
But NOTHING Seems to Work. What’s Going On?!
-
- Nope… It’s not that you “did it wrong” or that it’s the “wrong time”
- No… You’re NOT meant for less
- Stop it… There’s nothing wrong with you
- and NO… You’re NOT being punished by the Universe, God, Source Energy, or anything else.
But here’s the deal…
No matter what you read, listen to, watch, or practice, meaningful and lasting transformations cannot happen if you’re still living the SAME patterns and functioning at the SAME level that got you where you are in the first place…. Why? The reason is because…
You Must First Wipe-Out Your Unhealthy Patterns & Beliefs
Regardless of where you are from, your age, childhood experiences & conditioning, level of education, or financial status… there are a number of self-protective, but destructive patterns human beings naturally follow when we reach a particular stage of life. And as much as we’d like to believe that our problems are unique and defend our challenges; there are proven steps you can take to break through the trap and transform your whole life.
Don’t waste any more time, energy, and tears feeling empty, tired, lost, and frustrated. I’ll help you UNDO those negative patterns in your behaviors, emotions and relationships and finally breakthrough.
With a clear path and a solid plan comes more time, energy, and possibly more money to live full out and truly enjoy your life! Not “someday”, not when you’ve saved up a little more money, not when you feel better prepared… RIGHT NOW.
I’ll Help You…
- Identify the pattern you naturally follow, and understand how they keep you spinning in the same circle and block you from functioning at your best
- Learn effective and efficient techniques to break yourself out of that crazy-making thoughts and behaviors… until it finally becomes effortless
- Determine where you currently are and where you want to be
- Get clear with your priorities and how they agree with / contradict the results you want
- Identify the most valuable resources in your life and learn how to lean on those resources for strength and support in a healthy manner.
- Design a clear, step-by-step road map to get you BIG results quickly
- I’ll be here to answer questions, help you crush through obstacles, motivate, support, and keep you on the right track
