Trauma can silently impact our lives, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, and anxious. For high-achieving Latina women, the weight of past traumas can be especially burdensome, hindering your ability to trust your decisions, establish healthy boundaries, and re-establish your purpose. I am here to help you recognize the signs and symptoms of trauma and guide you on a transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery.

 You’re ready to recover your sense of self and heal.

Recognizing Trauma: Signs and Symptoms

Trauma can manifest in various ways, and it's crucial to recognize its signs and symptoms. As a high-achiever, you might be adept at masking your inner struggles, but the following indicators may resonate with your experiences:

Flashbacks and Intrusive Thoughts: Unwanted, distressing memories of past traumatic events may intrude into your daily life, causing flashbacks or intrusive thoughts.

Emotional Numbness: You might find it challenging to connect with your emotions, experiencing emotional numbness or detachment from your feelings.

Hyperarousal: Trauma can trigger a constant state of alertness, leading to symptoms like heightened anxiety, irritability, and difficulty sleeping.

Avoidance: You might actively avoid reminders of the traumatic event, including places, people, or situations that trigger distressing memories.

Negative Self-Perception: Trauma can erode your self-worth, leading to feelings of guilt, shame, and self-blame.

Trauma and Its Impact on High-Achievers

High-achieving millennial Latina women often face unique pressures and expectations. The burden of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the pursuit of success can magnify the impact of trauma, leaving you feeling even more overwhelmed and stuck. It's essential to understand that trauma doesn't discriminate; it affects individuals from all walks of life.


Healing from Trauma through therapy:

I recognize that healing from trauma is a complex, individual journey. My therapy services are tailored to address the specific needs of Latina women, providing a safe and empathetic space for you to explore your experiences and emotions.

Trauma-Informed Lens: I follow a trauma-informed approach, ensuring that therapy is a safe, validating, and non-re traumatizing experience. I am trained to work with trauma survivors with sensitivity and care.

Mindfulness and Self-Compassion: Mindfulness practices can help you reconnect with your emotions, while cultivating self-compassion is essential for rebuilding self-worth.

Self-Rediscovery: As you heal from trauma, you'll have the opportunity to rediscover your true self, trust your decisions, and re-establish your life's purpose.

Narrative Therapy: Narrative therapy is an empowering approach that invites you to reframe your trauma narrative. It recognizes that you are not defined by your past, but have the capacity to shape your future. I believe in the power of your voice. Narrative therapy encourages you to share your experiences, providing a safe and non-judgmental space to explore any trauma's impact on your life. By examining the stories and beliefs tied to your trauma, we can help you reduce anxiety and break free from the cycle of overthinking. Trauma can make you feel trapped in your own narrative. I'll guide you in rewriting your story to find purpose and direction once more. Healing from trauma involves rebuilding self-worth.

Healthy Boundaries: Healing from trauma often involves re-establishing healthy boundaries. Our therapy sessions will empower you to set boundaries that protect your well-being and guide your interactions with others
