Dr. Ocegueda didn't take the easy road to get here, and that shapes how she shows up for the people she works with.

A proud Mexican-American and the first in her family to earn a doctorate, she knows intimately what it feels like to carry the weight of everyone's sacrifices, to excel and excel and still feel like it's never quite enough, to be the one who made it and therefore can't ever fall apart. If you're the girl who has been achieving her whole life and still feels the quiet pressure to make it all worth it, she gets it. Not from a textbook. From the inside.

Dr. Ocegueda specializes in anxiety disorders and disordered eating across the lifespan, and she works especially well with the people who are very good at seeming okay. The ones who answer "how's it going?" with "fine," or "I'm here," or "it's going," while quietly feeling like the dog in the burning room insisting everything is under control. (If that meme felt a little too personal, you're in the right place.)

She has a particular heart for the people navigating a complicated relationship with their own body. The ones who reject diet culture and fatphobia with their whole chest and still catch themselves judging the body they live in. That contradiction isn't hypocrisy. It's what happens when you grow up in a culture that taught you your worth was measured in ways it never should have been. Dr. Ocegueda offers a space to untangle all of it, without shame or blame.

Her approach is warm, direct, and grounded in evidence-based care. She also believes that humor and depth are not opposites. If you're someone who copes with a well-timed joke but still feels the ache of the things you haven't fully worked through, she will meet you exactly there. You can laugh in session. You can also finally stop performing.

You don't have to hold it all together here. That's kind of the whole point.
