Therapy For ADULTS 18+, couples, and families.

At Healing Hearts and Breaking Cycles, my mission is to guide individuals, couples, and families in healing intergenerational wounds, navigating bicultural challenges, and building resilience. My goal is to help clients move from surviving to thriving in their lives, creating a legacy of emotional well-being and generational healing.

Drawing from my own journey as a first-generation Latina, I provide culturally responsive, narrative, and systemic therapy that honors your roots while empowering you to rewrite the stories that no longer serve you.

While I provide support for a variety of life challenges, I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are looking to heal intergenerational wounds, establish healthy boundaries, transform unhelpful patterns, and break cycles that have kept them from living fully and authentically.

Welcome

Hi, I am Dr. Armenta and I am glad you’re here!

My own experiences shaped my purpose, to support others in breaking cycles while honoring their heritage.

When you grow up between cultures, you often learn to be strong before you learn to be seen. I believe healing begins when your story is honored not minimized. This work is personal to me, and it guides how I support others in breaking cycles and building lives that feel authentic and whole.
