Happy Mental Health Provider Day 🌸 i am proud of you!!

I spent my morning pouring back into myself and taking some of my own encouragement I often give to clients: “make time to celebrate yourself!!” 💌

your twenties were sold to you as the best years of your life.
so why do they feel like a slow burnout?

if you’ve been quietly wondering what’s wrong with you for not having it figured out yet — please save this post and read it twice.

you’re not behind. your brain is still developing. your identity is still forming. the economy is crazy. comparison is everywhere. and the timeline they handed you doesn’t exist.

most of the young adults i work with come into therapy convinced they’re failing some test that everyone else is acing.
they’re not.

if any of this resonated, the full blog goes deeper into why this is happening and what actually helps. link in bio.

Some things don’t leave the family. That’s what we were taught.

For so many Hispanic and Latinx households, mental health falls into that category. You don’t talk about depression, you push through it. You don’t name anxiety, you stay busy. Whatever you’re carrying, you carry quietly, because that’s what loyalty looks like.

But silence has a cost. Only 35% of Hispanic adults with mental illness receive treatment (NAMI). Depression goes untreated. Anxiety gets managed through work, religion, and silence. Trauma gets passed down to the next generation because it was never processed in this one.

You don’t have to keep carrying what was never yours to carry.

I didn’t get into this work to give people advice or fix them.

I got into it because I know what it’s like to need a space where you can finally exhale. Where someone listens without trying to make it smaller, fix it faster, or make you feel grateful for what you have.

That’s what I try to build for every client who walks through my door (or signs onto my virtual waiting room).

If you’ve been considering therapy, this is your sign. 💌

Something I hear a lot in first sessions: “I know I should be over it by now.”

But here’s the thing — your nervous system doesn’t work on a timeline. It doesn’t care that it’s been months, or years, or that things are technically fine now. It’s still doing its job. Still protecting you the way it learned to.

That’s not weakness. That’s not being stuck. That’s just what unprocessed trauma looks like in a body that was never given the chance to complete the cycle.

Healing isn’t about becoming someone who isn’t affected by what happened. It’s about giving your nervous system permission to finally put the weight down.

This is what works for me and fills my cup as a therapist 😊 I’ve found leaving my schedule open 5 days a week and having fewer clients each day allows me to show up for my clients in a way I am proud of ♥️ I’m so grateful for a life and career that I get to build with intention
