Specialties
Generational Trauma
Bringing awareness to traumas that have been passed down through generations is essential to our healing journey. The realization of learned behaviors during trauma experiences can help individuals uncover their personal struggles and heal from past experiences to become improved version of themselves.
Parental Loss
The loss of a parent is often triggering for many of us regardless of age and/or connection. Navigating life without our first gurus of love can be difficult but learning how to work through grief and healing is key to keeping their memories alive.
Self-Care
Making yourself a priority is key to self-care. Being able to create a safe space for others to help them understand past experiences and engage in self-care can help promote increased self-worthiness.
The Latino Experience
Shared experiences are vital in the field of mental health care, especially for Latina women whose stories are rarely acknowledged. Storytelling our struggles and accolades that encompass our experiences as Latina women can help in our collective healing journey.
Mothering
It is important to understand the influence of the Latino family and the traumas created by societal constructs when being a nurturer. Listening to the stories that are unique to Latina women can help create a greater sense of empathy and strengthen the relationship between mother and child.
