Anxiety? Check. Perfectionism? Double check. You’ve gotten a long way thanks to your hard-driving mind, but lately living inside your brain has been a struggle. Your inner critic constantly picks apart every interaction. Painful memories keep resurfacing, despite your efforts to push them away. Daily invalidations of your queer, Latina, or immigrant identity sting, and loneliness creeps in as you keep your struggles to yourself. You’ve tried everything: drinking, doom scrolling, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling weighed down and hopeless.
Hi, I’m Katherine, and I’m a recovering perfectionist. Therapy helped transform my life, and that’s why it’s my mission to help anxious perfectionists find peace of mind and radical self-love through holistic, tailored therapy. My signature approach blends soulful explorations with practical strategies for managing daily stress and a decolonizing framework.
Through our work, my clients cultivate kindness for themselves, the ability to speak up for their desires, and a deep knowledge of how to take care of themselves through the hard times. That's all possible for you too! Let’s get you the big, easeful, juicy life you’re meant to live. Call now to schedule your first free session and see if we’re a good fit.

I work with: Latinxs who are bombarded by judgment from their self-critic and want to release intergenerational patterns to access inner strength. Prenatal and postpartum folks who are exhausted and overwhelmed and want to find new ways to balance personhood and parenthood. Teen girls who have lost their spark and want to reconnect with their resilient selves to enjoy life again.

I use Gestalt and somatic therapy in my practice. Through mindful explorations of your experience, you will grow awareness of the ways you are stuck. That awareness then becomes the key to changing your experience so you can get un-stuck and find your sense of agency and choice!
