About My Clients
Do you constantly feel like you’re carrying the weight of other people’s expectations—like you have to be strong, put-together, and perfect all the time? The self-doubt, the racing thoughts, the guilt when you even think about setting boundaries—it’s exhausting. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or just trying to figure out who you are beneath all the roles. Together, we can unpack the generational messages, cultural expectations, and emotional pain that have shaped your story.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in assisting clients dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, and emotional dysregulation, employing a blend of DBT/CBT, EMDR and somatic practices to foster mind-body awareness within a trauma-informed framework. My passion extends to addressing cultural challenges such as generational trauma, imposter syndrome, and the nuances of self-esteem and advocacy, especially for those navigating the complexities of first-generation stressors. In our sessions, I invite you to explore and embrace the complexities of your identity and experiences. Together, we can embark on a journey towards healing, understanding, and empowerment, navigating the challenges and celebrating the victories that shape your unique story.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As the daughter of immigrants, my path to becoming a therapist was deeply influenced by cultural expectations and the silent stigma surrounding mental health in my community. This personal experience ignited my passion for supporting those grappling with the intersections of cultural identity and mental wellness. Additionally, being bilingual in Spanish, I am dedicated to providing a culturally sensitive and inclusive space for clients who may prefer to communicate in their native language. My professional experiences have been diverse, ranging from providing therapy in community mental health settings to advocating for survivors of Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault. These roles have deeply informed my approach to therapy, emphasizing empathy, resilience, and the human capacity for growth.
