Great to meet you!

Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your mind into a battleground. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.

My approach to therapy

Hi, I’m Katherine, a recovering perfectionist who has experienced the healing power of therapy. That’s why it’s my mission to help anxious perfectionists like you achieve peace of mind and radical self-love through personalized, holistic therapy. My unique approach combines:

  • Deep-dives into your psyche so you can build awareness of your patterns and start to shift them
  • Practical coping strategies to get through the stress and anxiety of the day-to-day
  • A decolonizing framework to reignite your innate sense of worth
