She also loves to help people deepen their walk with Father God, helping them to uncover the lost pieces of their soul and returning to who God originally created them to be before the world impacted them.
After completing her Masters in 2023, Rebecca has relentlessly dedicated herself to her continued education through studying and researching to sharpen her skills in the areas of her four specialties: Trauma & Abuse, Addiction & Recovery, Narcissists & The Victims, and Betrayal Trauma & Infidelity. Rebecca is specifically drawn to and passionate about these four areas of specialty because of her own personal and devastating experiences with each one of those areas.
Just as Rebecca continues to work diligently to process through and heal from her own experiences, she longs to also walk side by side with others facing similar heartache and pain to help them gain new tools to cope, as well as heal. On top of these four areas of specialty Rebecca also desires to walk alongside couples and marriages offering them tools to work through seasons of hardship, especially those devastated by infidelity.

Rebecca relies fully on the Holy Spirit in every session, co-laboring with Him while offering a variety of practical and Biblical tools to help people grow in each of those areas. Rebecca is passionate about helping others to know that there is hope and freedom from being tied to any bondage that has been holding them back from being all that God created them to be. Her greatest reward is watching lives be forever changed.

She worked in social services in New York City for a few years after college and then spent over a decade in the fitness industry as a personal trainer. Her time as a trainer only fueled her interest in helping others spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. After the pandemic, Miguelina became a stay-at-home mother and caretaker for her elderly mother while homeschooling her son through the high school years. She found Life Focus Center during a dark season in her life and in it a loving community where God continued to restore and heal her soul from the impact of various life experiences and traumas.
Miguelina is grateful for the privilege of having others share their stories with her. She loves to help them understand and connect with God’s love for them through the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ. God has been a father, a protector, a rescuer, a brother and a friend through the challenges she has faced. The truth of God’s word and His Holy Spirit set her free from fear, insecurity, anxiety, and depression. Now she longs to help others find healing and restoration in their relationship with God; to help them make peace with the past, find joy in the present and feel hopeful about their future. She especially feels called to those who have been affected by abusive relationships, domestic violence, seasons of loss and grief, those caring for children and elderly parents, and those who have ever felt alone, like an outcast or a misfit.
Miguelina is the mother of two beautiful adult children who have been her life’s greatest blessing. She enjoys working out, hiking, reading, and walking her Chihuahua and Chihuahua-Dachshund mix poochies, who often make her feel like she is once again, the mother of a couple of toddlers.
