Ivan Alexis Hernandez Rueda
As a fellow traveler in life, I too walk step by step in this grand sandbox we know as the world, awing in its natural beauty, dreaming of realizing our potential, and grieving its plights. In session, I cultivate presence and openness in meeting with each client. I don’t feign to be an expert of your life. Rather, I intently listen to your living story and identify meaningful themes. I strive to understand the unique intersectional tesseract that represents each person’s will to be. From the stories you might’ve inherited by your ancestors, to your identity and lived experience. Who we are, why we are and what we wish to be and do with our time roaming this sandbox is the core of my work. By understanding the factors that created the engine of our life story, we are to explore how to structure your life to align with the most authentic version of yourself. My background influences my ability to connect with clients from many non-traditional backgrounds. I am a child of immigrants from rural Mexico, and have primarily lived in Texas and Guanajuato, Mx. I am a neurodivergent, first-generation college graduate. Lastly, I am queer in every sense of the word - a rebellious kook fighting for liberation against oppressive forces.
