Hi there, I'm Karicia!
I understand the unique challenges that first-generation individuals and families face, such as balancing cultural expectations, prioritizing the care of others over oneself, and navigating between two worlds. We’ll create a safe space where you can process feelings, reconnect with your identity, and learn to care for your mental health.
My focus
Many of my clients are first-generation immigrants, individuals navigating bicultural identities, or people who are simply carrying the weight of expectations — to be the “buena hija,” the “hombre fuerte,” the one who sacrifices, stays silent, and carries on for the sake of the family. That pressure can be overwhelming.
My approach
What makes my approach unique is that I don’t just show up as a therapist—I show up as a human being. I bring compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for your story. I know that therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about understanding what you’ve been through, identifying what’s no longer serving you, and learning how to move forward.
