Hi, I'm Leslie
I was born in Mexico in 1985, where I lived with my family, studied, and worked until I was 30. Then I decided to come to Germany, eager to be better, achieve more, and prove who I was. Over the next 10 years, the path became much more turbulent. I went from selling quesadillas at a weekend market to working at one of the world's leading tech companies. And that wasn't the biggest challenge; it was raising a family far from home. Motherhood brought to light what I had been refusing to see for years, and I understood that there was no way to move forward without pausing to lick my wounds.
I had to say goodbye to who I was, to what I wanted, and accept my failures. Only then could I start again and remember that song that said: " Traveler, there is no path, the path is made by walking ."

My courses:

Experience:
I have worked with teenagers and adults facing various challenges and goals; and I rely primarily on group work, as it provides benefits for both mental health and personal development.
I work primarily with migrants, as I am familiar with the barriers and demands we constantly face, and I have also worked with people with trauma and experiences of attachment, self-perception, and identity.
All my tools are evidence-based.
