English
| español In the midst of life’s demands, you may feel exhausted from always prioritizing others—tiptoeing around their feelings while neglecting your own. Perhaps you grew up quickly, caring for others long before you had the chance to care for yourself. Now, you might be reaching your limit, realizing that things can’t continue this way. Constantly putting others first can leave you feeling drained, overburdened, or unappreciated. But you don’t have to navigate this alone.
As a first-generation Latina, I understand the unique challenges of balancing two cultures, meeting family expectations, and finding your own identity in the process.
I help people slow down, honor positive changes, and build inner strength. By understanding ourselves better, we can take care of our needs, say no without guilt, and foster stronger relationships. As a Spanish-speaking therapist, I empower Latinx individuals to find balance and navigate transitions with confidence, adaptability, and personal growth.
It can be hard to ask for help, but you don’t have to do this alone. I’m here to create a safe space where you can slow down, explore your emotions, and celebrate your progress. Together, we’ll break through barriers, embrace self-care without guilt, and build the confidence to honor your needs. I’m here to support you on your journey to healing and balance.
