You’ve always been the strong one. The one who holds it all together, even when you’re falling apart inside. As a first-generation Latina, I know what it’s like to carry the pressure of doing well, not disappointing anyone, and trying to heal without a roadmap.
I specialize in working with first-gen Latinx individuals and couples who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, reactive, and disconnected from themselves or from each other. Whether you’re navigating childhood wounds, relationship patterns, or cultural guilt, this is a space where your culture is understood, not explained.
Using EMDR, DBT, and trauma-informed therapy, I help you:
Regulate emotions (no more bottling it up or blowing up)
Improve communication in your relationship (without ghosting or shutdowns)
Set boundaries without guilt (sí, it’s possible!)
Heal intergenerational patterns and still love your family
Reclaim your voice, rest, and sense of self
Therapy with me is warm, direct, and real. We’ll laugh, cry, and do the deep work together.
You don’t have to choose between your culture and your healing. You get to have both.
Please contact me when you’re ready to start your healing journey. I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
