Let’s be honest…
Being a young adult is not rainbows and butterflies. Sometimes, it kind of sucks!!
Figuring out adulthood is hard.
Doing it between two cultures can feel even harder.
You’re building a life of your own while carrying the expectations, sacrifices, and values you grew up with. Maybe you’re navigating anxiety, relationships, family pressure, or simply trying to figure out what you want. Therapy can be a space to sort through those layers without having to choose between honoring where you come from and becoming who you want to be.
Maybe you’ve been wondering…..
How do I honor my parents’ sacrifices while still choosing the life I want?
Why do I feel guilty when I set boundaries?
Why am I so anxious when everything is technically “fine”?
Am I living for myself or everyone else?
Why am I so anxious when everything is technically “fine”?
Do I stay in this relationship or finally choose myself?
Why does everyone else seem to have life figured out?
You don’t have to do it alone. I can walk alongside you while you figure it out..
You don’t have to do it alone. I can walk alongside you while you figure it out.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, family expectations, relationships, identity, or simply trying to figure out what’s next, you don’t have to have it all figured out before starting.

Therapy that feels like you.
Therapy doesn’t have to feel overly clinical or like you have to show up knowing exactly what to say. Our sessions are a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and better understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I use approaches like EMDR, CBT, DBT-informed strategies, attachment-based work, and expressive techniques depending on what feels most helpful for you. Sometimes that means talking things through, and other times we may use more creative or experiential ways to explore what’s difficult to put into words.
Sessions are available in English and Spanish. And if you naturally find yourself going back and forth between the two, that’s okay too. Sometimes Spanglish just says it better.
