Anxiety
Hey amiga—if your mind feels like it never shuts off, you’re not alone.
Many first-generation Latina women carry anxiety quietly while juggling family, work, expectations, and the pressure to hold everything together. Overthinking, tension in your body, irritability, and exhaustion are often signs your nervous system is overloaded—not that something is wrong with you.
In therapy, we slow things down and help you understand where this anxiety comes from, so you can feel more grounded, present, and in control of your life again.
Depression
Feeling heavy, disconnected, or like you’re just going through the motions?
Depression can show up as emotional numbness, burnout, irritability, or feeling like you’ve lost access to yourself while still showing up for everyone else.
Here, we make space for what you’ve been carrying. Together we work on reconnecting you to your emotions, your needs, and your sense of self beyond your roles.
Trauma
Hey hermana—if your past still shows up in your body, reactions, or relationships, that matters.
Trauma isn’t always one big event. For many first-gen Latina women, it can also come from long-term stress, emotional pressure, or experiences you were taught to normalize.
Using approaches like EMDR and trauma-informed therapy, we work at your pace to help your nervous system feel safer and your present feel less controlled by the past.
Virtual Therapy with a Latina Trauma Therapist
Therapy is offered 100% virtually for clients throughout California.
You can attend sessions from a private, comfortable space without commuting or added stress. This makes it easier to stay consistent and supported, especially during busy or overwhelming seasons of life.
I specialize in working with first-generation Latina moms navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, guilt, overthinking, relationship stress, and identity shifts.
My approach integrates EMDR, CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, and relational therapy based on what you need most in the moment.
