let’s be honest:
Existing between worlds is exhausting.
Co-existing in multiple worlds and cultures doesn’t come with a roadmap. The competing demands and expectations leave you feeling tugged in opposing directions, and you’re left with the feeling that no matter how hard you try, you’ll never be enough for anyone.
Even though there are a lot of people in your life, it feels like nobody from any ‘side’ really gets you, and you’re not sure where you truly belong.
You’re tired of facing microaggressions when you’re out and about, and obstacles in advancing at work. All this is impacting on your relationship, where you’re struggling to communicate and feel a sense of togetherness across the divides.
-
You grew up being told you needed to work twice as hard to get half as much, but now you’re firmly in the world of work, you realise that your working patterns are totally unsustainable.
You’re running on empty, your performance at work is dipping, you’re snapping at your friends and family, and the stress is starting to manifest in your body.
-
Your differences have shifted from creating intrigue and allure to being a source of friction, and the stresses of the outside world have crept in.
You're finding yourselves caught in unhelpful conflict patterns, whether that looks like blow ups, shutting down, or avoiding conflict altogether. You're struggling to communicate across the divides and neither of you feel truly seen or understood by each other.
-
The disconnect and tensions between the expectations of the different cultural worlds you navigate at home, work, and in your relationships inhabiting your life often feel unbridgeable. You feel like you’ll never be enough for any ‘side’, no matter how hard you try.
In fact, you’ve been so preoccupied trying to fit in and please everyone that you're losing yourself in the process. Or perhaps you’re not sure you even knew who you were to begin with.
I’M Liliana.
I get it. You belong here.
I specialize in helping bicultural and multicultural clients and couples just like you find a more solid anchoring, so that conflicting tensions and messages in your external world do not end up destabilizing you within.
Being bicultural, bilingual (English/Spanish), & Biliterate myself, I know all too well how challenging it can be moving between cultural worlds at home, work, and in your relationships. In therapy with me, we will get curious about about the different worlds you are navigating in a non-judgemental space where all the parts of you are truly welcome. We will work together to make you feel more connected up and better resourced, so that life feels not only more manageable, but more expansive and enjoyable.

You’ve been so preoccupied trying to fit in and please everyone else across your different cultural worlds that you feel like you’ve lost yourself in the process. Or perhaps you’re not sure you even knew who you were to begin with.
Together, we can help you find a more solid anchoring within. Counseling offers you a non-judgemental space away from all the external noise and pressures, where you can look at the identities you hold and sit with the possibilities that could emerge from this meeting place within.
-
You love each other, but your connection feels strained. As you’ve contemplated or gone ahead with moving in together, getting married, or starting a family, your differences are causing friction and the stresses of the outside world have crept in. With distinct coping strategies and communication styles, you’re struggling to communicate and feel a sense of togetherness across the divides.
I will help you break free from unhelpful conflict patterns and shift to a place of empathy and communication, where differences are no longer ‘problems’ but unlock new possibilities to carve a unique path that works for you both.
-
You’re a master of the art of adapting, but underneath your smile, you're worried you'll never be enough for anyone and find yourself picking yourself apart. You lay awake at night with whirring thoughts and your anxiety is starting to show up in your body in ways that are increasingly hard to ignore..
Let’s work together to dial down your anxiety, so you can have a more enjoyable, expansive life, and navigate your different worlds with greater ease.

You grew up being told you needed to work twice as hard to get half as much. Yet now you’re firmly in the world of work, you realize that your working patterns are totally unsustainable. You're aware that you're working so hard to hold it together at work, that your stress is leaking out and negatively impacting on your life and relationships outside of work. Yet you're so burnt out and running on automatic that you can’t step back and see clearly anymore.
Step away from the grind and really attend to you. Share the load with someone who really gets it, and unlock healthy, empowering ways of navigating these stressors.
