Who I work with
I work with first-generation Latinx clients experiencing anxiety, the effects of trauma, and the weight of family and cultural expectations. You may feel constantly on alert, overwhelmed, or caught between what you want for yourself and what you’ve been taught to value, carry, or be. These experiences can affect how you see yourself, relate to others, and move through the world.
Therapy can be a space to slow down, explore what you’re carrying, and better understand yourself and what you need.
You may be experiencing
Anxiety & feeling on alert
Worry, overthinking, fear that something bad might happen, difficulty slowing down, or feeling like you always need to be prepared for what comes next.
Trauma & its effects
Experiences that continue to affect your sense of safety, relationships, emotions, self-worth, or ability to feel present.
Family & cultural expectations
Guilt, pressure, responsibility, gender roles, machismo, and navigating expectations around family and culture.
Identity & belonging
Questions about who you are, where you fit, and how to honor different parts of yourself while becoming your own person.
Relationships & boundaries
Difficulty expressing your needs, setting boundaries, or changing relationship patterns that no longer feel right.
Life transitions & difficult seasons
Times when life feels uncertain, overwhelming, or different from what you expected, and you're trying to find your footing.
