When you constantly feel muscle tension, empty, & exhausted, it's hard to imagine any other option, but with the right support, there can be. 

Perhaps you feel as if you have forgotten about yourself constantly thinking about the family whether it’s your parents, your siblings, or everyone else in between.

 

Lately, you may notice you no longer recognize yourself. The woman who was able to take care of everyone is now depleted and exhausted. 

And when you think about what you need, you experience a tremendous amount of guilt! That might look like doubting yourself or your needs.

Anxiety and Depression Therapy In Person in La Habra, California and virtual therapy throughout the state of California 

Empowering the first generation woman and mom to take meaningful action, so you can feel whole to enjoy life without living in survival.  Break free from self-abandonment and people pleasing. 

You can book a consultation here. 

You  may be experiencing self-abandonment, repressed grief, anxiety or depression if: 

  • You have a hard time expressing your needs. 

  • You feel guilty when you set boundaries. 

  • You feel irritable at little things because you are tired. 

  • You are in misaligned relationships that may place you as the caretaker not only in friendships, but also romantically. 

  • You may have noticed a dip in your physical health. Your body is possibly showing signs of the distress you are unable to express.

These are all common signs that you may be dealing with unresolved childhood trauma, pent up grief, that is showing up as panic attacks, anxiety, or depression, and that it may be time to get the support you need, want, and deserve.

Spiral Staircase

Chronic stress isn't always the result of one big identifiable event. 

In reality, it builds slowly over time through everyday stresses, subtle emotional wounds, or repeated moments of feeling unheard and overwhelmed.

Many of my clients tell me that their struggles didn’t start with a single, dramatic incident, but rather with a series of small, painful experiences that added up until life felt unmanageable. Recognizing chronic stress is the first step toward healing, and it shows you’re not alone.

Kenia Ipina, LMFT#127755,
First Gen Therapist & Somatic Guide

I know first hand what it’s like to navigate the deep discomfort of first-gen healing. I know what it feels like to plant new beliefs for your family tree, all while quietly battling the anxiety, the worry, and the constant, ruminating thoughts of “Am I doing enough?”

 

But I also know what happens on the other side of that discomfort. I know what it’s like to create a life that finally feels safe, secure, and stable. The pure joy of watching those new, healthy beliefs bloom both in your family of origin and in the new family you get to create. 

 

You don’t have to endure the weight alone anymore. If you are tired of the self-neglect, and incredibly ready for change, I am here to help you heal, release and return home to yourself. 

 

Nourish yourself. Heal generations. Offering services in English and Spanish. 

Female Mental Health Therapist in Office

Welcome

If you’re struggling with anxiety and depression, you don’t need more coping skills, and you definitely don’t need to keep staying silent to keep the peace. What you may need is a somatic healing guide who can help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your values, and take authentic action toward a life that is truly yours.
 

I am an intuitive, deeply attuned therapist who blends traditional psychology with somatic and energetic healing to help you feel confident with your inner wisdom.  

 

Clients describe my presence as warm and grounding, but I am also compassionately direct. Together, we use tools that go far beyond traditional talk therapy, creating a space where you can finally quiet the external noise and learn to listen to your own inner wisdom.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

 

Signs You May Need Chronic Stress and Burnout Therapy:

  • Swallowing your own truth to keep everyone else comfortable. 

  • You say yes, when you want to say no. 

  • You don’t recognize yourself anymore. 

  • You feel moody or irritable at the slightest things because your capacity is tapped out. 

  • You desperately want to free yourself from responsibilities, but you honestly don’t know how to let go without feeling consumed by guilt.

  • Deep down, you’ve started to believe you are unimportant.

  • Your nervous system is screaming. You experience panic at the slightest things, or find yourself trapped in scary, intrusive thoughts. 

  • You are fiercely protective of them. Gently neglecting you.
