Therapy for First-Gen Mujeres

You Don’t Have to Do It Sola.

Growing up as the eldest daughter in a first-generation family, I felt the drive to succeed and honor los sacrificios de la familia. Pero I quickly realized how easy it is for our own dreams to get buried under the weight of expectations.

Te veo—I see you. You’ve taken on responsibilities, honored your family’s journey, and worked hard to make them proud. But with the pressure to set an example comes la culpa, perfectionism, and, let’s be honest—exhaustion.

Imagine a space where you can finally focus on you. Where you’re not just the strong, dependable daughter, but a woman discovering her true self, free from others’ expectations. Together, we’ll bring balance, self-care, and joy back into your life.

What You’ll Find in Our Sessions:

  • Freedom from Guilt & Perfectionism: Let’s work through the emotional weight you’ve been carrying. It’s time to let go of old patterns and make space for what truly serves you.

  • Body-Centered Healing: Techniques to help release stress, calm your nervous system, and restore well-being, because you carry more than just mental load.

  • A Safe Space Just for You: Step into a place where you can be tú misma—discover your dreams, likes, and goals without the weight of otros expectations.
