Welcome! I have been working on this heart-project for over a decade in one way or another. The idea came out of love for my family, the women in my life, and my Mexican culture. This offering is about celebrating our resilience and also inviting us to practice something new. I want to shape cultures that also welcome our feelings, mental health, and vulnerability. I am excited you are here, let’s do this together!

 

1) Cabronas in Therapy

This is individual therapy for people that are used to being leaders, taking care of others and not always prioritizing themselves. You are the heart of our communities! Your mental health and healing are important. I utilize a strength-based, somatic, trauma-informed and culturally empowering approach to our work together. We will practice how to make space for yourself, your feelings and create a life where you get to thrive. Our healing can include addressing symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma and other mental health conditions. I have focused training in somatics and trauma, individual and collective.

I am currently accepting new Cabrona clients. More information on rates and contact information here.

Dear Cabrona, Did you know there is a relationship between anxiety and feeling your feelings? When we are anxious, we are often not connected to our feelings or our body. This can be protective if we did not have a safe space to feel and process.
