What I Do
I help Latina daughters of immigrants dismantle the pressure to be “perfecta” using music-centered healing to reclaim their vibrant creative resilience. I do this using evidence-based music therapy.
You’ve felt it for as long as you can remember.
The pressure to be perfecta because your parents were the ones that
sacrificed everything to come to the States and now it’s on you to make sure that doesn’t get thrown away.
It’s looked like getting straight As,
picking up on everyone’s emotions in the room,
making sure your siblings knew calladita te vez mas bonita,
never making plans because you knew they’d just say no and you needed to be at home,
learning to contribute to the house when you were still a kid yourself.
Now it looks like overworking at your job so you can be at the top,
either taking care of everyone’s emotions in the room or steamrolling them in defiance,
strained relationships with the family that was once the closest thing you had,
always making plans so that you’re always busy and can show that
you’re never idle and the sacrifice had to be worth it.
That’s where music comes in.
Music therapy helps you let go of the pressure to be perfect,
not have to track anyone’s feelings but your own,
and find healing for yourself that lets you turn off
the stay-busy noise and turn on your inner calm.
