I grew up navigating machismo, religious pressure, generational trauma, and the quiet expectation to be the responsible one, the translator, the fixer, the good daughter. I know what it feels like to carry roles you never agreed to, and to spend years thinking that exhaustion was just how life worked.
That lived experience, combined with my clinical training and my own healing journey, is what I bring into the room with you. I’m not just here to listen. I’m here because I recognize what you’re carrying, and I know there’s a way through it.
Being the sensitive one, the chillona, la enojona came real early to me. Discernment and questions were on fire when I became a teenager. I began to challenge systems of machismo and religion and it came with criticism, judgement, and being misunderstood by las tias, familia and even friends. To repair the negative impact and intrusive judgmeents machismo and religion left on my heart I began a deep journey with spirituality, specifically the Mexica cosmovision, reiki, and other nature and ancestral based teachings and wisdom.
Going to therapy, becoming a therapist, participating in healing circles, doing energy work, and exploring ancestral wisdom of different cultures helped type view life and humanness differently. It helped me create new patterns and ways of living that feel GOOD to me. I have a deeper understanding of myself, my mind, body, heart, and spirit, outside of roles, gender, and cultural constructs.
Liberation and freedom from generational trauma and oppressive “traditional family patterns” is possible. My personal experiences and my role as a therapist have given me a deep appreciation for life.
