Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You don't have to continue pretending you are perfectly fine. Whether you are an eldest daughter, only daughter, or mom, you may have learned early on to take on more responsibility in relationships. Deep down, you may be struggling with believing your needs are important. Carrying heavy family expectations, chronic guilt, and the pressure to be perfect takes a heavy physical and emotional toll. If you're exhausted from self-neglect and feel like your tired of taking on more responsibility, this is the space for you. I help oldest daughters, only daughters and those who grew up with more responsibility feel safe in their body.
I'm Kenia an LMFT with 9 years of experience helping high achieving, women heal from childhood trauma and break the cycle of survival patterns.
Working together we use somatic therapy to release stored survival tension and nervous system stress. Explore complex family dynamics without losing yourself. Rebuild self-trust, repair confidence, and feel secure in who you are.
My approach is grounding, nurturing and empowering. Ready to take the first step? Call me or text me to book your free 15 minute consultation.
