About this provider

Clients I Work With

I work with adult Latine individuals who are looking to connect to their emotional needs, better understand family history, and heal trauma wounds. As children of immigrants, childhood came with a variety of responsibilities; though many provided great skills, some continue to affect our wellbeing and adult relationships in ways that weren't anticipated. Some common challenges I work with include feeling responsible for your family's wellbeing while also navigating your own needs, trying to build a relationship where your parents can see you as an adult, setting healthy boundaries without completely cutting family out of your life, or even making sense of and healing from your childhood experiences but having a difficult time managing guilt, shame, fear, regret, anxiety, or additional emotions that come up when revisiting childhood memories.

Approach

As a client, you can expect to be treated with dignity and respect. I believe it is important to give voice to your life story in ways that are meaningful and without shame. We will work together to better understand the emotional responses you are having and what they are trying to help you connect to. In the therapy room, I aim to create a space where we can honor your family’s hardships while also making room for your own sacrifices. We work together to find helpful ways to include the family values you still align with into your life, support you in reconnecting to your internal trust, identify and practice realistic boundaries that take your needs into consideration, and create the life you have always deserved to live.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I am the proud daughter of Mexican immigrant parents. The first born in the U.S. and the one that at many times, felt responsible safeguarding my family from feeling like they didn’t belong. At the same time, I too was, and continue to, navigate the otherness often experienced when we’re made to feel like we don’t belong. The saying, "ni de aqui, ni de alla" has shaped a grand part of my mission with Generaciones Counseling and in my personal life. I believe that we belong in every space we are a part of; within family, in relationships, work settings, social groups, and most importantly within ourselves. We can reclaim our belongingness, we can regain ownership of our own lives, we have meaning and each person deserves to feel "de aqui y de alla".

BEYOND THE LOCAL REFERRAL NETWORK | SERIES BY THERAPY EXPANDED

I could provide high-quality care online in a way that worked well for many of my clients.

As an online provider, I built my practice around the work I was most prepared and motivated to do, and clients could choose me for my specialization rather than simply my location.
