Hi, I’m Genesis. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, immigration evaluator, and the founder of Healing and Growth, a group practice dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating trauma, identity, and life transitions. As a first-generation Latina, I understand the complexity of holding multiple identities—balancing family expectations, cultural values, and personal growth. My work is rooted in helping clients break intergenerational patterns, heal from past wounds, and create healthier, more intentional ways of living.
I specialize in working with immigrants, first-generation individuals, and those experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. I also support women and mothers—especially first-time moms—who are learning to care for themselves while caring for others. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and results-oriented.
If you’re ready to take the next step in understanding and healing, I would be honored to work with you in navigating the challenges you're facing. Together, we can explore new ways of coping, healing, and growing to help you live the life you envision for yourself.
