Hola, I am Kenia, a Mexican-Guatemalan American Licensed MFT. Using somatic therapy (body based), I help you release the weight of expectations to find true inner harmony. Â
Â
Welcome to first-gen adulthood! You are doing well professionally, but you still experience fear when you see a detailed message from your mom about something a sibling did or needs support with. Chances are you’re struggling in relationships because you tend to over give feeling as if there’s little room for you in your relationship.
Â
Perhaps you’ve noticed that the women in the family do it all. They take on the emotions that no one talks about plus the physical labor. Between breaking systemic barriers, managing family pressure, and feeling guilty for having opportunities others didn’t, it’s easy to put your needs last. You might feel exhausted from being the innovator while trying to keep everyone else afloat. No estas sola. Â
Â
As a first-gen mom and professional, I know firsthand what it takes to break the cycles of self-neglect, honor your identity, and build a life grounded in peace and self-acceptance. My journey has helped me find balance, acceptance, and break cycles of self-neglect.Â
Â
My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and empowering. Integrating Somatic Therapy, Gestalt, and CBT, we heal childhood trauma and intergenerational wounds, without asking you to disconnect from your roots or lose who you are. Â
