If you’ve found yourself navigating chronic illness or trauma, and are wondering how to keep going when your body feels different, your energy is limited, or your life suddenly feels uncertain, you’re not alone. You deserve to be seen and supported. I'm Natalia, a Latina therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting young adults and diverse clients who are learning how to live with chronic illness and disabilities, manage caregiving roles, and cope with anxiety, burnout, and trauma. Many of the individuals I work with are used to being the dependable one, even when they’re exhausted or struggling themselves.

You are exhausted of feeling and thinking the same way. You are someone who wants to change but doesn’t know where to start. You notice your relationships are being affected. You say "I'm fine" but feel the opposite. You find yourself saying you have a "complicated" relationship with your parent(s). You are a person of color and/or queer individual who feels frustrated, sad, or maybe even confused at the state of the world. I will help you “feel lighter”, break patterns, connect with your feelings, discover your values and how to live them out in your relationships, and make the changes necessary to embrace your authentic self.

If you have felt like: you carry a tension in your body that never quite seems to release, like you’re always bracing for something, or you swallow your emotions because a voice says they might be too loud, too much, or not welcome, I see you.
If you move through the world hyperaware of how your skin, gender, or voice, is perceived, or you’ve been told you’re resilient, but what you really want is softness, rest, and the freedom to fall apart safely, I get it.
Maybe you long for community, for spaces where your full self is seen, affirmed, and held without question. I'm here to help!

The world is becoming more complex as we are expected to do more with less time and energy. What if you were already coping with difficulties from a not so distant past? With my own history of self worth/doubt, health issues and being told "I don't belong here", I can vividly remember the frustration and loneliness of trying to "live your life" while feeling excluded. I draw from this to empathize and build a mutual understanding of "now" and create a path to a more authentic version of "you." We often look to the past to find origins of problems, but its equally important to dig through our history to find gems of resilience.

Are you terrified of starting therapy because of judgment of a "non-traditional" lifestyle, relationship, or job? Are you exhausted by the demands of a system that never seems to give you a break? Are you experiencing feelings of guilt and shame of starting this journey because growing up your concerns were minimized or taking care of yourself was viewed as selfish?

Finding a therapist who truly understands how culture, identity, and lived experience shape your inner world can be difficult. I specialize in working with young adults and first- and second-generation immigrants who feel stuck between who they were taught to be and who they want to become.
Clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, burned out, or trapped in people-pleasing and perfectionism. Together, we work to untangle old patterns, regulate the nervous system, strengthen boundaries, and cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth and emotional safety.

You might notice yourself stuck in the same relationship patterns—overthinking after conversations, pulling away when others get emotionally close, or feeling disconnected even when you're not alone. You want deeper, more secure connections, but something keeps getting in the way. In our work together, we slow down and bring curiosity to what’s happening in the moment—your thoughts, emotions, and internal blocks. Together, we uncover how these patterns developed and how earlier experiences may still be shaping how you connect, handle conflict, and navigate closeness and vulnerability today.
