How do I know it’s time to start therapy?
therapy isn’t just when you’re in crisis
You may already know that you’re not feeling like your usual self. Maybe you’ve been feeling more anxious lately, isolating yourself, or struggling to find the motivation to keep up with everything on your plate. Or maybe you’re just… tired. Tired of pretending to be okay, tired of always being the strong one, and tired of navigating life transitions without a guide to follow.
But what if you're not in full-blown crisis mode? What if you're just feeling a little off and can’t quite put your finger on why? You don’t have to wait until things fall apart to get support.
If you’ve been thinking about therapy and wondering whether it's "bad enough" to seek help — that wondering is a sign that it's okay to take the next step.
YOU’RE allowed to be curious about therapy
Starting therapy doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. Sometimes it just means you’re craving a space that’s yours to be able to process, to explore, and to not carry everything alone. Ya estas cansada y quieres compartir ese peso.
Even if you’re just curious, that curiosity is enough. Enough to take that first step, even if it feels scary or confusing.
You might hear phrases like “shop around for a therapist,” or “make sure it's a good fit,” and feel overwhelmed by all the filters and bios and directories. That’s real — especially when you’re trying to find someone who truly gets your lived experience.
This is where I come in. I welcome the in-between. Together, we’ll explore what’s coming up for you and get you the support you deserve.
what you might be navigating right now
Therapy can be especially powerful during transitions or moments when you're questioning old patterns. You might be…
Feeling stuck in your relationships, repeating the same patterns
Struggling to say no or set boundaries without guilt
Noticing how generational cycles are impacting your everyday life
Thinking: “I want to break this cycle, but where do I even start?”
Trying to balance your own healing while still showing up for everyone else
If you’ve been saying “I’m tired” but not really knowing why OR you’re the friend that always checks in on others but wonders who checks in on me? — therapy can offer the space to name that, feel it, and begin healing. No te tienes que esperar.
A Space Where You Don’t Have to Explain “Being First-Gen”
One of the biggest hurdles for many first-gen Latinas and women of color is finding a therapist who understands without you having to explain every cultural nuance.
Therapy hits different when you’re not having to translate your lived experience. When you can say “es que en la casa no se habla de la salud mental” and I get it.
When you work with me, you won’t have to over-explain. I hold space for the cultural, emotional, and historical layers you carry. We’ll explore your story with compassion and care, without shame or judgment, to honot all the parts of you.
You Deserve Support, Even When You’re Functioning “Fine”
You don’t need to prove your pain. You don’t need to reach a breaking point. Wanting more for yourself—more peace, more clarity, more grounding—is reason enough.
Therapy isn’t just for surviving. It’s for growing, healing, and remembering who you are beneath the pressure to hold it all together. Maybe you just need a little reminder of that.
Ready when you are
If this resonates, I invite you to reach out. Whether you’re in a moment of transition, feeling emotionally tired, or simply wondering if therapy is for you — I’m here to help you explore that safely and at your pace.
The first step can feel big, pero no tienes que hacerlo sola.
You deserve support that sees all of you.
