About

If you grew up in a BIPOC or Latine/Latinx household where silence, sacrifice, or survival roles were the norm, you may now find yourself overwhelmed, disconnected from your needs, or constantly taking care of others while neglecting yourself. Maybe you’re the eldest daughter, the fixer, or the one everyone leans on—but you’re tired of holding it all together alone. My clients are often cycle-breakers who carry invisible emotional labor, many of whom grew up with siblings facing disabilities, mental health challenges, or substance misuse. They come to therapy ready to unlearn people-pleasing, set boundaries, and reconnect with self. I draw from several different lenses of practice, but all of them have a fundamental belief of placing importance on the therapeutic relationship: on connecting with you, creating a safe space for you, and for you to feel truly and deeply seen. Other lenses and elements I integrate often are: EMDR, Brainspotting, Psychoanalytical and Mindfulness practices.
