More about Mariana

Are you a first-gen woman of color feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or carrying financial and cultural pressure that feels heavy to hold alone? You may be navigating life milestones without a roadmap: college, career, money decisions, family expectations, while feeling like you’re behind.
As a first-gen Mexican-American therapist, I understand how cultural experiences shape your relationship with self. Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and leave with greater clarity, emotional regulation, and self-trust. If you’re ready to feel supported I invite you to book a session and take the next step toward healing.
