Soy terapeuta, hija, hermana, esposa y madre — y al igual que muchos de los clientes con quienes trabajo, sé lo que significa cargar con muchos roles a la vez.
Nací como la primera hija de inmigrantes mexicanos que viajaron por los Estados Unidos, y ese camino me formó de maneras que aún estoy descubriendo. Moverme por diferentes partes de este país y cruzar la frontera hacia México me dio una comprensión temprana de lo que significa adaptarse, pertenecer a más de un mundo, y encontrar un hogar dentro de ti misma cuando el suelo no deja de moverse bajo tus pies.
Como la hija mayor en un hogar monoparental, fui llamada desde temprana edad a ayudar a criar a mis tres hermanos menores después de que mi madre sobreviviera la violencia doméstica. Fui la primera en graduarme, la primera en irme, la primera en formar una familia. Esa experiencia de ir primero — antes de que existiera un camino trazado, antes de que alguien en mi familia lo hubiera hecho — me enseñó tanto el peso como el privilegio silencioso de abrir camino. Si alguna vez has sentido esa mezcla particular de orgullo y soledad que viene con ser quien lidera el camino, lo entiendo profundamente.
Si alguna parte de mi historia te resulta familiar, sería un honor caminar a tu lado.
I am a therapist, daughter, sister, wife, and mother — and like many of the clients I work with, I know what it means to carry many roles at once.
I was born the first child of Mexican immigrants who traveled throughout the United States, and that journey shaped me in ways I am still discovering. Moving through different parts of this country and across the border into Mexico gave me an early understanding of what it means to adapt, to belong in more than one world, and to find home within yourself when the ground keeps shifting beneath you.
As the eldest daughter in a single-parent household, I was called early to help raise my three younger siblings after my mother survived domestic violence. I became the first to graduate, the first to leave, the first to start a family. That experience of going first — before there was a roadmap, before anyone in my family had done it — taught me both the weight and the quiet privilege of blazing a trail. If you have ever felt that particular mix of pride and loneliness that comes with being the one who leads the way, I understand it deeply.
If any part of my story feels familiar, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
