Why Anxiety Feels Overwhelming for So Many Latina Women
You can't ever really be yourself and feel like you belong. No one seems to get it. Your mom tells you to pray and drink some tea, but that doesn't help. All your friends seem to have it together. No one talks about the struggle.
It's getting to the point that you don't even have the energy to go to family events, let alone go on a date. Let's not even talk about the pressure to get married and have kids. Anxiety is draining you and leaving you with nothing to give.
It's a lonely feeling, like you are failing. You don't know what to do anymore.

How Culturally Grounded Therapy Supports You in Calming Your Anxiety
I help Latina Women overcome anxiety. My clients experience improvements in their professional life, relationships, and self-esteem over their time in therapy. I use English, Spanish and Spanglish in our sessions. Being a bi-cultural and bilingual therapist helps me have insight of what it means to be a woman of color in the workplace and society. In therapy I often bring culturally relevant topics that are part of the Latinx culture that can affect mental health such as marianismo, familismo, and managing being part of two cultures. In therapy I often see my clients develop to a better sense of self and feel more empowered make better decisions for themselves. My clients learn to integrate different parts of themselves. My clients usually grow past symptom management to creating the thriving life they deserve.
During our time together in therapy, I teach you practical tools and strategies to manage anxiety. I use mindfulness like present moment awareness and relaxation skills. I also use Cognitive behavioral therapy to help you manage unhelpful self-talk and unhealthy behaviors. At time solution focused strategies are helpful; as I don’t believe that therapy should be forever, and we should be making progress in our therapeutic goals. I believe that therapy can help you create our own personalized toolbox with what you need to better manage anxiety in your daily life.
