Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Avondale, AZ

Are you noticing yourself being consumed by anxious thoughts? Are you finding it difficult to live your best life in the present moment, and catching yourself drifting off? It’s ok. Many of us do, especially in this day and age where there are a million-and-one things pulling us in different directions. From your tasks at work or home, in relationships, and/or with family, anxiety may be interfering. Or perhaps you are noticing resurfaced trauma that is aiding in your inability to have meaningful relationships resulting in isolation and misunderstood pain.

¿Hola, que tal? I hope you realize what an incredible step you’re taking towards healing and self-discovery. As an immigrant or the child of immigrant parents, childhood may have come with responsibilities you did not ask for. Although these expectations provide great skills, they also come with challenges like continuing to feel responsible for family’s wellbeing, struggles with balancing family’s expectations of you and your actual preferences, feeling like you don’t always belong in spaces, making sense of mixed emotions like gratitude for family sacrifices while also feeling upset with what you and/or family had to go through.

Life these days can be isolating, stressful, and demanding. Thriving can be even more difficult for those struggling with anxiety, past trauma, grief, and life transitions.

I am passionate about supporting those in transitioning roles such as adolescence, young adulthood, work, parenting, relationships, empty-nesting, and grief. The goal of our work together will be to make the specific, positive changes you desire.
