Therapy for cycle breakers navigating where they’ve been, and where they’re meant to go.
You’ve carried so much… Let’s make space for what you need too.
You’re the first. The strong one.
The one who left to pursue your dreams, and theirs.
The one who holds it all together.
The one who wants to do things differently.
Therapy with me is personalized and relational.
It’s rooted in the interconnectedness of our past, present, and future.
Whether you need space to process, tools to grow... or just someone who gets it... let’s see how I can help.
Hi! I’m Adriana. Therapist. Educator. Community Builder. Queer. Teen immigrant. First-gen.
I specialize in generational healing for people living in-between cultures, roles, languages, expectations, and dreams.
Why work with a generational healing specialist?
Your patterns, beliefs, and values are rooted in a deep, rich history. Some of it you’re aware of, and some of it you’re not, but keeps showing up in your life, in your work life balance,in your parenting, in your relationships.
Not everything you’ve inherited fits the life you’re building. Generational healing helps you honor your past, break what no longer serves you, and move forward with what does.
I work with:
Individuals exploring identity, healing, and self-trust.
Couples seeking a deeper connection and building a healthy relationship that lasts.
Adult families repairing and rewriting their legacy with more intention and understanding.

Let’s see if this space is right for YOU!
Therapy with me is sometimes a little soft (hello compassion!). A little direct (hey accountability!). Rooted, honest, and always relational.
You don’t have to show up polished. You don’t even have to know exactly what you need. We’ll figure that out together.
We’ll process. Build skills. Hold the heavy, and laugh a little too.
I bring theory, trauma knowledge, and family systems insight. You bring your lived experience, your story, your rhythm, your truth.
This is shared labor, and it only works when the fit feels right.
-
You’re not here to just patch the symptoms, you want to understand what shaped you, what you need to let go and what you’re ready to shift.
-
You’re looking for a therapist who can hold your story with depth, but also help you take action that is aligned, and both realistic and creative.
-
Maybe you’re first-gen, queer, neurodivergent, building a bicultural family, or navigating the in-between (de aquí y de allá). You want a space where all of that has space to be aired out.
-
You know your family dynamics didn’t start with you, you’re ready to heal your ancestral line, and leave a legacy that goes beyond surviving.
-
I won’t sit back and nod, or ask you over and over, “so how do you feel about that?“. I’ll reflect, challenge gently, teach you new concepts and give language to your experiences laugh with you, and be in it with you (dating, parenting, intimacy, your relationship with your boss, and how much you love your dog are always welcomed topics.)
Therapy with me may work if …
I may not be a good fit as your therapist if…
-
I won’t hand you a list of solutions in session one. We’ll get to the root, so your change actually sticks.
-
I’ll offer clarity and direction, but our work isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s flexible, relational, and shaped by your goals, desires, hopes, dreams and also where you’re feeling stuck.
-
That’s okay, but my approach is rooted in all of that (aka systems thinking). If you’re not open to those layers, it might not feel aligned.
-
We’ll definitely build tools, I’ll be direct, but we’ll also sit with meaning, grief, complexity, I will remind you of your goals, cheerlead you through the stuff that doesn’t fit neatly in a tracker.
-
This is a co-created space. I’ll offer insight and frameworks, but I’m not here to lead your life for you. I want to empower you to get to know yourself deeply, so you can make aligned decisions.
This work is for folx ready to unpack what they’ve been carrying, what’s theirs, what never should’ve been, and what they’re ready to let go and create something new.
If you’re looking for a therapist who’s warm, honest, and holds complexity with care, who will remind you to breathe, set those boundaries, and drink some water, you’re in the right place.
I offer in-person therapy for individuals, couples, and families in Sacramento and online therapy throughout California.
