You can find me on LatinxTherapy.com when searching for a therapist who offers culturally responsive, compassionate, and authentic care. I specialize in supporting adult children of immigrants, first-generation professionals, and individuals navigating life transitions, grief, and relational challenges. My practice also welcomes those carrying the invisible burdens of being raised by emotionally immature parents, eldest daughters balancing family expectations, and high-achieving professionals battling quiet burnout.

My approach is rooted in honoring your lived experiences, addressing the weight of cultural and relational expectations, and helping you reconnect with your worth—beyond what you do for others.

Together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space where healing feels possible—not performative. My goal is for you to feel seen, understood, and empowered to redefine what thriving looks like for you.

Let’s begin your journey toward healing—on your terms.

Yesterday, I reminded you:
✨ It wasn’t your fault.
✨ Repair takes two.
✨ Hope is natural—but repair isn’t yours to carry alone.

For many adult children of immigrants and those raised by emotionally immature parents, this hits deep.
You were taught that approval meant safety.
That keeping the peace was survival.
And that love had conditions.

But here’s the truth:
You didn’t have a choice then.
You do now.

Authenticity isn’t rebellion.
Boundaries aren’t rejection.
Choosing yourself isn’t betrayal. It’s healing.

Of course, choosing authenticity over attachment isn’t easy. Especially when you were wired to believe love must be earned.

But healing means asking:
Do I have to keep choosing to be acceptable… or can I learn to be authentic, even when it feels risky?

You are allowed to choose you.
And I’m here to remind you—you’re not selfish for doing so.

✨ Welcome to the Eldest Daughter Club ✨
Being the “strong one” isn’t as glamorous as it sounds. It often means invisible labor, unspoken sacrifices, and guilt for even thinking about putting yourself first.

In my latest blog, I dive into:
💔 The hidden emotional cost of being the eldest daughter
🛑 Why being “the example” often leads to burnout
💛 The gifts we carry—and how to carry them differently
🌱 Practical ways to rewrite your story, from survival to self-led living

Whether you’re the cycle breaker, the family fixer, or simply tired of holding it all together—this is for you. Your strength is beautiful, but it shouldn’t cost you your peace.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “Why do I keep ending up in the same patterns?”

Family roles like “the caretaker,” “the fixer,” or “the quiet one” often begin in childhood—formed through rhythm, repetition, and predictability. These patterns once kept you safe. Now, they may be holding you back.

Healing begins when we bring awareness to the old scripts and consciously choose new ones. It’s not about blame—it’s about understanding.

🌱 Start by noticing the roles you took on.
💡 Practice showing up for your inner child with presence and compassion.

This is the work. Slow, layered, transformative.
You don’t have to do it alone.

✨Guilt says “I did something wrong.” Shame says “I am something wrong.”✨

And that difference? It’s not just psychological—it’s personal, cultural, and deeply embodied.

For adult children of immigrants, those raised by emotionally immature parents, or anyone who grew up being “the strong one,” guilt and shame are often tangled up with identity, family roles, and survival strategies.

🚫 Shame tells you to stay small, stay silent, stay perfect.
🌱 Guilt—when explored with compassion—can guide you back to your values, your boundaries, and your voice.

At SanaMente Wellness, we help you name the emotions you were never allowed to feel, grieve the roles you never asked to play, and reclaim the you underneath the “fixer,” “pleaser,” or “good daughter.”

💡 Untangling guilt and shame isn’t just emotional work—it’s relational healing, nervous system healing, and ancestral healing.

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

This post is your gentle reminder: strength doesn’t mean silence.
And support isn’t something you have to earn.

At Respiro, your story belongs. Your exhaustion is valid. And your healing matters.

🫶🏽 You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. ✨ Spots are limited and filling quickly. If this spoke to you, don’t wait—save your seat and let yourself exhale.
You deserve a space to feel held, too.

It was an incredible honor to be invited as a panelist for the Somos Líderes Fellowship Midway Celebration with Somos Tejas, where I had the opportunity to share my journey through leadership, community care, and self-nurturing.

As an adult child of immigrants, I grew up with invisible expectations—to succeed, to be grateful, to silence my needs, and to hold everyone else together. I wore resilience like armor. But beneath it, I was anxious, disconnected from my body, and constantly questioning my worth.

When asked what advice I’d give my younger self, this is what I shared:
Your feelings are valid. Rest is not laziness. Softness is not weakness. Emotional pain doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re human. Boundaries aren’t betrayals—they’re a way back to yourself.

What I once saw as disqualifications—my sensitivity, cultural grief, imposter syndrome—are my superpowers in helping others heal.
To anyone walking a similar path: your story matters. Your healing matters. And you don’t have to do it alone.
