Please contact me via my website for further questions https://corazonconversations.com/contact/ Growing up as a first generation can be quite overwhelming because there is a lot of navigating that we are doing both personally and within our familias. There are many layers unique to our experiences. Our work together in therapy will embrace all the parts that make you, we will learn to navigate what your current struggles are, and you’ll become the expert of your own mind and body even more. You are not just going to cope with the struggles, you will have a deeper mind, body, and soul connection with yourself and will find courage, slowness, and embracement in your life y corazon. I help Black, Indigenous, Chicanx, Latinx people navigate first generation experiences, life transitions, physical and sexual trauma, generational and cultural differences (age, family roles, religion) and traumas. These sorts of life experiences can cause us anxiety, overwhelm, shame, self doubt, sadness, fears, and sometimes, even engaging in behaviors or relationships just to try and cope. I integrate ancestral knowledge and western knowledge in our work in order to reach a mind-body-emotion-spirit and soul connection. Let's break these cycles and change up the game for ourself and future generaciones.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, well will start with brief introductions and usual legal stuff I have to review. Once you provide that verbal consent, we have a conversation about whats been going on that brought you in to therapy. I offer to you the tools that I carry thank can potentially help you in your journey. The rest is history.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

A variety of whole-istic methods and tools, each individualized for you and what you need and are experiencing. A decolonial approach is always incorporated when working with me. Contemporary Narrative Therapy Thought Field (tapping) Energy medicine (discussions about) Psychodynamic Trauma CBT Xicanx Affirming Conscious Parenting To name a few.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My strongest areas are working with Latinx, Chicanx, first gen/or first-time therapy seekers who are willing to open up their hearts and be seen. My biggest strengths include helping you understand your environment, mind and body and how those two are contributing to your mental health.
