English
| español Are you an adult child of immigrants who struggles with feeling stuck, anxious, or like something is wrong with you—even though “nothing major” has happened in your life?
You feel overwhelmed by expectations and disconnected from your true self.
Perhaps you try to push through, people-please, or stay busy and never feel like it’s enough or like you’re truly okay.
And this leads you to feel exhausted and alone in your experience.
I get it—navigating multiple cultures and generational expectations often means carrying invisible emotional burdens. We’re led to believe we have to hold it all together, succeed for our families, and never show emotional pain.
Nothing is wrong with you, and you are not broken. Healing is possible.
I help my clients feel calm in their bodies, connected to
I’m Cristina, and my superpower is helping adult children of immigrants heal transgenerational trauma and find freedom, clarity, and peace of mind.
I’m also a bicultural immigrant woman, in a biracial marriage, raising three American children, and I love dancing to Latin music, talking about identity over coffee, and finding joy in small, ordinary moments.
