You feel anxious when someone pulls away, overwhelmed during conflict, or disconnected when things get too vulnerable. Part of you wants connection, while another part feels guarded or on edge. You may feel your stomach leaping or chest tightening, as you try to figure out why you are the only one that can solve everyone's problems. I work with first-generation individuals, who hold it together for their family, while quietly fighting people-pleasing and guilt that follow them into every other relationship. I know how jarring it is to find help that doesn’t need you to over-explain everything in context.
I use a relational and systemic approach to help you look at how family, culture, and society impacts you from the inside out, allowing us to address the root causes of your struggles, not just the symptoms. We will use somatic and parts work to find trust in your mind and body, connect with others better, and set boundaries without guilt or resentment.
I believe that clients have the capacity to create long lasting change. I use compassion, collaboration, humor, and intuition to challenge clients, highlight where they're stuck, and encourage transformations. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. Schedule a 15 min consultation call! (Tambien hablo Español)
