Introduction

Are you the type of person who feels responsible for making everyone around you happy? Do you struggle to balance their expectations with your own fulfillment? It's simple to claim, "It is what it is! :)" However, learning to set boundaries is just the first step on your journey to a better life. I believe in your ability to grow and thrive! Prioritizing your mental health should be seen not as a luxury but as a fundamental right. I support anxious and burnt-out women of color in understanding their cultural identities and guide them in discovering their worth and strength. Having grown up in a close-knit Mexican-American family, I understand both the spoken and unspoken cultural norms that encourage young girls to care for others. As they transition into womanhood, the pressure to meet everyone's expectations can quickly become overwhelming, and these unrealistic demands contribute to many women's fear of disappointing others. I recognize how an interest in therapy can seem like a selfish service to pursue, or even a sign of weakness. I have worked with many women in your position, and I understand the struggle of feeling unworthy of receiving the care you generously provide to others. As your therapist, I will support you through these challenges. If you're prepared to embark on a journey toward a more fulfilling life, it would be my honor to walk alongside you.
