Description
You're the first-born daughter. The responsible one. The strong one. The one everyone turns to—but who do you turn to?
You're successful on paper, but emotionally overwhelmed. You replay conversations, struggle with boundaries, and feel burned out from trying to meet everyone’s expectations. Maybe you're noticing that your relationships—romantic, familial, even professional—keep hitting the same frustrating wall. And no matter how much you journal, read, or self-reflect, the cycle doesn’t break.
That’s where I come in.
I specialize in working with first-born daughters navigating the emotional toll of trauma, perfectionism, anxiety, and depression. I help high-functioning women unpack the unspoken weight they’ve been carrying—so they can finally stop over-functioning in their relationships and start building a life that feels calm, clear, and confident.
I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a short-term, evidence-based approach that helps you identify unhelpful thinking patterns, challenge self-blame, and shift long-standing habits that no longer serve you. Together, we’ll work toward new options and tools you can use beyond therapy, in real life.
If you’re ready to stop carrying it all alone, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation on my website. Therapy at Restority Space is virtual, trauma-informed, and designed with your full life in mind. Let’s create the space you’ve never had—to put yourself first.
Diving into this work together will allow you to feel more in control of your future and put YOU back in the driver seat of your life. Building the tools to build self esteem, trust, set limits, practice patience and self-compassion are the gateway to a more sustainable and peaceful life. Living as a confident person who maintains healthy romantic, familiar, and friendly relationships is not out of your reach.
I’ve worked as a psychotherapist for over 10 years. I’m a Black Latina daughter of immigrants, a first time mother in the pandemic, and I offer a celebratory and affirming space for the LGBTQIA+ community. My approach to therapy involves an introspective conversation where you are encouraged to explore the root cause of your thoughts and feelings. I believe in a person’s ability to restore their sense of self through insight, honesty, empowerment, and the desire to live as their authentic selves.
If you want to explore thinking more critically about your habits and how to break them, reach out for a free phone consultation. I’d love to help you get there.
