You may have started this year with fresh intentions—new routines, new goals, and the hope that things would finally feel more manageable. Yet despite doing “all the right things,” you may still feel stretched thin, emotionally depleted, or one small moment away from overwhelm. That isn’t a personal failure. It’s a nervous system that has been in survival mode for far too long. We’re glad you found us. We’re Whitney and Tiffany, licensed mental health therapists dedicated to supporting millennial women through life’s major transitions, including pregnancy, loss, infertility, postpartum, parenting, career shifts, and relationships.

My style is collaborative and conversational, and for clients who are open to it, I also integrate creative methods such as journaling, mindfulness, or music therapy.
My ideal client is a millennial or professional who looks successful on the outside but feels stressed, anxious, or stuck on the inside. They may struggle with work-life balance, boundaries, or carrying the weight of expectations. What they need is a safe space that feels less clinical and more like a real conversation. Their goals are to reduce stress, improve confidence and relationships, and find balance. Some also want creative outlets like journaling or music to process emotions and reconnect with themselves.

I help bicultural Latina women turn cultural tension into authentic heritage-honoring healing and self-expression through music therapy.
Do you ever feel like you can’t fully be yourself? As a bicultural Latina, living between cultures can be confusing, exhausting, and isolating. You’re constantly navigating the pressure of family expectations while trying to define your own identity and it can feel like there’s never space to show up as your whole self. Your experience is complex and deeply personal and your therapy should honor that.

No matter who you are or what your particular challenges are, we can all get to the point where we feel like we're drowning. Work can push us and make us feel inadequate or overworked. Our relationships can make us doubt our value or our commitment. Even our family members who are supposed to be our main support can turn out to be a source of major stress. Tell me your individual story and struggles so that we can work together to find your peace and calm. Sometimes our burdens can get so heavy that even trying to picture our goals is difficult. Let's try to face some this fog so we can see our dreams clearer.

My goal is to care for the whole person by teaching the individual coping skills to handle stressors caused by medically, mentally, or spiritually challenged life. Are your health issues or that of a loved one weighing you down and interfering with your relationships? You can have PEACE of mind and JOY even amid these challenges. Working as a Nurse/Midwife was fulfilling. Currently, applying psychotherapy to the nurse/midwife experience is impressive, and working with a Doctor of Professional Counseling (DPC) degree is like icing on the cake. I love what I do. I make well-informed decisions about caring for my clients.

At One Heartt, we understand that seeking mental health care often comes after a long period of coping, pushing through, or caring for everyone else first. You may be experiencing burnout, navigating neurodiversity, managing grief or trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. We believe your experiences deserve to be met with compassion, skill, and respect. Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

Many of the challenges we face today—whether in relationships, habits, mood, anxiety, or motivation—are rooted in earlier life experiences that may not have been fully processed or understood. These past experiences can shape how we see ourselves, how we relate to others, and how we respond to stress. In our work together, we’ll develop an understanding of how your past is influencing your present, uncover meaningful insights, reduce emotional overwhelm, and begin to shift unhelpful patterns. From there, we’ll build practical, personalized tools that empower you to make lasting changes and move toward the life you want to live.

I have been practicing music therapy for over ten years and often integrate this into my session work, which can include song-writing, lyric analysis, and sometimes just banging on drums for cathartic release!
Have you been struggling for years with processing and expressing difficult emotions? Perhaps you’ve recently experienced a significant life transition or critical event that is challenging to navigate on your own. We each have unique lived experiences that deserve to be heard in a safe, non-judgmental space.
