Helping BIPOC individuals & moms navigate OCD, anxiety & trauma

08/18/2025

✨ Routines can be grounding, but when they become too rigid, they can leave us feeling trapped instead of supported. A routine is meant to serve you, not the other way around. 💛

Flexibility doesn’t mean losing control, it means giving yourself room to breathe, adapt, and live. ✨

Gentle reminder: your worth isn’t measured by how perfectly you stick to your routine.

The world is restless and you’re learning to sit with intrusive thoughts.

Resisting the urge to check, avoid, or control.
Choosing not to run, even when it would be easier.

That’s not easy, it’s incredibly brave. 🤍

Healing doesn’t always mean feeling better right away. Sometimes it means learning to be with what is, moment by moment.

To my clients: I see you. I’m proud of you. Keep going.

Sincerely didn’t just hit the spot, it saw me. As a woman who loves hard, feels deeply, and holds so much all at once, this album felt like a mirror.

ILYSMIH took me straight back to that love-hate relationship I have with pregnancy and postpartum—the deep mama love, the identity shifts, the ache and the awe. It reminded me that my story is our story. It’s one so many of us carry in different ways.

I find inspiration for mental health, especially motherhood, in unexpected places. And music? It’s therapy in its own right.

If this post makes you think, “Maybe I need to unpack this with someone,” or simply gives you a new song to feel through—that’s all the bliss I need today ✨

You love your kids.
You feel grateful.
And still, some days your body feels like it’s on fire.
Your jaw tightens, your chest clenches, your voice rises before you even realize it.
Then comes the guilt: Why am I like this? I should be more patient. I should be thankful.

But here’s the truth:
🧠 Your nervous system isn’t just reacting to today.
It’s reacting to unprocessed stress, unspoken needs, and often generational survival patterns.
Rage isn’t you being “crazy” or ungrateful.
It’s your body screaming: I’m overwhelmed. I’m carrying too much. I never learned how to do this differently.

And guess what?
You can feel rage and gratitude at the same time.
You can love your child and resent how invisible you feel.
You can hold it all and still heal.

✨ Breaking generational patterns means learning to respond instead of react.

It means learning what your nervous system needs to feel safe again.

Let’s talk about it.

In therapy, BIPOC moms are finally saying the things they were taught to hold in 🤎

They’re grieving
They’re unlearning
They’re healing, not just surviving
They’re choosing to be seen as more than caregivers, more than “strong,” more than just holding it together

In therapy, you get to take off the cape
You get to cry without explaining why
You get to rest
You get to be

If you’ve ever felt like your feelings had to come last or not at all
You deserve care too
Not after everyone else is okay, but now

I offer bilingual therapy across Texas for BIPOC women and mothers navigating identity, intergenerational cycles, anxiety, trauma, and everything in between

What OCD sounds like in therapy?
It’s not just quirky habits or needing things “just right.”
It’s deep, painful doubt that won’t let go.

It’s the fear that maybe you missed something.
The urge to confess, check, repeat, just to feel a moment of relief.

But that relief never lasts.

In therapy, we don’t try to find perfect answers.

We learn to face the fear, sit with the discomfort, and stop feeding the cycle.

We practice trusting ourselves, even when the doubt screams louder.

Anxiety doesn’t just live in your thoughts, it shows up in your body too. Maybe your heart beats fast, your stomach feels weird, your chest gets tight, or you feel like you can’t breathe right. That’s your body trying to protect you, even when there’s no real danger.

Sometimes we try to fix these feelings right away, but not everything needs fixing. Some things just need space.
Like when your body is feeling nervous, it might just need you to breathe and wait, not panic or push it away.

It’s not easy, but little by little, you can learn to tell the difference between what needs action and what needs patience.

And you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I help people notice what’s happening in their bodies, make room for hard feelings, and learn how to calm their system over time.

Como terapeuta latina, mi labor nace de la dignidad, la familia, la comunidad y la justicia dentro y fuera del consultorio.

Sostengo espacio para historias que fueron silenciadas. Para dolores que nunca fueron reconocidos. Para generaciones marcadas por el miedo, el desplazamiento y la supervivencia.

Así que cuando alzamos la voz contra políticas migratorias injustas, somos políticas porque nos importa la humanidad. La de nuestras familias. La de nuestros derechos. La de nuestro valor.

La terapia es sanación. La protesta es sanación. Presentarnos por nuestra comunidad también es sanación.

Porque la salud mental no existe en un vacío; está moldeada por los sistemas en los que vivimos.

Siempre creeré que nuestras historias importan. Que nuestra presencia importa. Que merecemos sentirnos segures, pertenecer y respirar sin miedo.

✊🏽 Por quienes se han visto obligades a dejar su hogar. Por quienes se quedan y luchan. Por quienes crían bebés biculturales en un mundo que quiere que nos achiquemos. Tu lucha es nuestra lucha. 🇲🇽🤎🇵🇸

Fatherhood doesn’t look just one way.
Some are parenting full time.
Some are co-parenting, healing, grieving, learning as they go.
Some are showing up in ways they never saw growing up.

However fatherhood meets you today, happy Father’s Day! 🤎

As a BIPOC Latina therapist and as a person who deeply feels the weight and urgency of this moment, I want to remind you:

You deserve care, too.
Before, during, and after the protest.
This post is for your nervous system, your heart, your breath.

Rest is resistance. Hydration is preparation. Feeling is not failure. Protest with power, and rest with tenderness.

When you’re raising children between worlds…maybe as a first-gen mom, maybe navigating bicultural or multilingual homes, there’s often no script.

Just intuition, tradition, and a lot of trial and error.

It can feel confusing to both honor your upbringing and want something different.

To deeply love your culture and still wrestle with parts of it.

To be the bridge between generations, while trying to heal and grow.

It’s complex. It’s emotional. And it’s deeply worthy of space in therapy.

This work isn’t about rejecting our roots.

It’s about finding our way back to them—with healing, agency, and heart.

If you’re a mamá navigating these tensions, you don’t have to do it alone.
