Holistic Mental Health for First Gen Women
Does this sound familiar?
Stuck in toxic cycles
Feeling lonely and unfulfilled in your relationships
Overthinking and feeling overwhelmed
Loss of motivation and ability to experience joy
Life can bring us challenges, transitions, and experiences along the way that lead to stress, anxiety, sadness, and trauma.
Maybe you are dealing with toxic relationships, having a hard time breaking negative habits, or feeling a loss of purpose and self worth. It may feel overwhelming, and too hard to deal with on your own.
You don’t have to deal with this on your own, Rise Healing Arts Therapy can serve as a guide and stepping stone to help you get to where you want to be in life.

First Gen Women
My practice specializes in guiding first-generation women through the unique challenges of navigating multiple life spaces, shedding generational guilt, and unlearning the pressure to be the 'strong one.' Whether you are carrying the weight of family expectations, struggling with boundary setting, or feeling disconnected from your true self while climbing professional and personal hurdles, you don't have to carry it all alone. Together, we use evidence-based, compassionate therapy to help you honor your roots, break painful cycles, and build an authentic life defined by your own values."

EMDR Consultation for Therapists
My consultation practice is dedicated to supporting clinicians as an EMDR Consultant in Training (CIT), drawing on 17 years of clinical experience to help therapists deepen their mastery of EMDR with Latinx clients, women, and those navigating reproductive trauma. Whether you are working toward basic training completion, seeking your EMDRIA certification, or looking to navigate complex cultural nuances and somatic birth trauma with greater confidence, you don't have to refine your craft in isolation. Together, we blend advanced case conceptualization, culturally responsive care, and practical application of the AIP model to help you feel grounded, and deeply supported in your clinical work.
