About My Clients
Are you struggling to find your way while dealing with family expectations and pressure? Is it hard to feel like what you’re doing is “enough”? Maybe you’re struggling with anxious thoughts or conflict with important people in your life. I am here to help in creating healthy boundaries while you heal and move forward in the life you want to live.
My Background and Approach
I provide a warm, empathetic and safe space as I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is needed for success in therapy. I was trained from a Family Systems perspective, which means that I look at what’s going on in your life and how this is impacted by your family, context, environment and systems as a whole. I also draw from Narrative and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy in my work as I help you shift negative beliefs about yourself and highlight your inherent strengths. I have additional training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, which is the therapeutic approach I use when supporting couples.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a bilingual/bicultural therapist and I grew up with immigrant parents from Mexico. I am the oldest daughter of four, which comes with a significant sense of responsibility. I became a therapist to help others break cycles and learn new healthy patterns. First-generation/ adult children of immigrants experience family expectations that come with a lot of pressure. I believe we can have healthy boundaries with our families while also challenging oppressive systems and living the life that makes us happy. You’ve already taken the most difficult step by seeking help. I know this process can be scary and stressful but I’m here to answer any questions or concerns you may have. Feel free to call or email me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.
