Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #96678

Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #96678 Let’s go beyond the norm—together. My personal and clinical experience has assisted me in providing help to others in times of emotional and mental distress.

Therapy designed to help you live life fully. 🌿
We’re here with real tools for real people—teens, couples, and women navigating anxiety, depression, and everyday stress. I specialize in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT) and Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). In my experience these theories have provided my clients with the tools they need to manage their lives. I have experience as a therapist for dual diagnosis, addiction, mental health, self-harm and mental illness. I would be honored in assisting you with this unique life journey. I am currently providing counseling support in a private practice setting, in Temecula, Ca. I accept most insurances and have reasonable rates.

Pushing through” can look strong on the outside, but it often comes at a quiet cost.

When moms keep overriding exhaustion, stress doesn’t disappear. It settles into the body as irritability, shutdown, anxiety, resentment, or that numb feeling where even the good moments barely register. The holidays don’t cause burnout, they expose what has already been stretched too thin.

You are not weak for needing rest, support, or a pause. Ignoring your limits does not make you more devoted, it just makes recovery harder later. Care for yourself is not optional maintenance, it is what keeps everything else from falling apart.

Me: “Okay, so for Christmas Eve we’re doing dinner at my mom’s, then Christmas morning here, then your family at 2pm, then cookie decorating, then the light show, then I still need to finish wrapping, and—”
My husband: buffering… 🌀😅
It’s not that he doesn’t care — it’s that holiday mental load is a whole skillset most women have been forced to master.
And carrying it alone? Exhausting.
Resentful-making.
Burnout in a Santa hat.
If the holidays already feel like a one-woman production, join us on Dec 16 for the webinar:
“Is He Emotionally Unavailable… or Are You Emotionally Burnt Out?”
Because you shouldn’t have to manage the season and the relationship by yourself. 🎄💛

Emotional burnout isn’t just being tired.
It’s being done.
It’s when your body keeps showing up, but your heart checked out three arguments ago.
As an LMFT, I see this all the time—women blaming themselves for “not trying hard enough,” when the truth is your nervous system is waving a white flag. Burnout blocks intimacy, not because you don’t care, but because you’ve had nothing left to give.
The reset starts with small steps:
✨ Name what’s happening instead of pushing through it.
✨ Shift from managing the relationship to sharing the load.
✨ Rebuild safety before you try to rebuild s*x or closeness.
If this feels painfully familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep surviving your marriage on fumes.
We’re diving into this inside the Marriage Reset Webinar on December 16th.
Come learn how to reconnect, restart, and actually feel close again.

Tell me you don’t ask for help without telling me you don’t ask for help.
😂💀
If you’re out here dragging emotional couches down the street on a rolling office chair instead of saying, “Hey… I’m overwhelmed,” you’re not alone.
Some of us weren’t taught how to lean on anyone — especially in our marriage.
And here’s the kicker:
Sometimes he’s not “emotionally unavailable”… you’re emotionally burnt out from carrying the whole damn load.
If this hit a little too close?
Join me on Dec 16 for the “Is He Emotionally Unavailable… or Are You Emotionally Burnt Out?” webinar.
We’re unpacking the difference, the patterns, and how to finally rebuild connection without doing all the emotional labor.

If marriage had a movie trailer, half of us would look exactly like Mr. & Mrs. Smith walking away from a house that may or may not be on fire…
🔥😅
Other couples are tapping out, and you two are over here dodging life’s plot twists, unexpected explosions, and emotional landmines like trained operatives.
But here’s the real talk:
Even the strongest couples can only “power through” for so long before the exhaustion catches up.
And sometimes what looks like resilience is actually… burnout.
If you’re starting to feel like the emotional load is heavier than the action scenes, join us on Dec 16 for the webinar:
“Is He Emotionally Unavailable… or Are You Emotionally Burnt Out?”
Because even secret agents need support.

He does shut down when you try to talk to him, and no, you’re not imagining it, and you’re not “too much.”
From a therapist’s perspective, shutdown is almost always a protection strategy, not rejection. It’s what people do when they feel overwhelmed, unsure, or afraid they’ll make things worse.
But here’s the hard part:
Your need for connection + his need for retreat = the same argument on repeat.
Real change starts with understanding the pattern, not blaming yourselves for it.
If you’re tired of feeling like you’re talking to a wall, there is a better way forward, one that creates safety, not shutdown.
We’re unpacking this fully inside the Marriage Reset Webinar on Dec 16.
You don’t have to keep doing this dance. ❤️‍🩹

You stay quiet.
You swallow it.
You try to “be chill.”
You tell yourself it’s not worth the fight.
And then one day… the fire comes out. 🔥🐉
Not because you’re “too much,” but because you’ve been carrying way too much for way too long.
That explosion?
That’s what happens when emotional burnout meets silence.
That’s what happens when you’re doing all the emotional labor in your marriage and calling it “keeping the peace.”
If you’re tired of holding it in until you erupt…
If you’re done shrinking, overfunctioning, and hoping he’ll finally “get it”…
Join me on Dec 16 for
Is He Emotionally Unavailable… or Are You Emotionally Burnt Out?
A webinar for women who are ready to stop burning themselves down to keep the relationship warm.

Why you’re doing 90% of the emotional labor:
Because you noticed the dentist appointments, the mood shifts, the missing laundry sock, and the fact that your kid’s backpack zipper is seconds from a full-blown malfunction… before anyone else even blinked. 😅
Here’s the therapist truth:
Emotional labor tends to fall on the partner who’s more attuned, more aware, and more used to managing chaos. But that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.
Quick tip from a therapist:
Start with micro-boundaries.
Instead of jumping in automatically, say: “Before I handle this, what’s your plan?”
It redirects responsibility without starting a fight — and it teaches your partner to step up instead of waiting for you to swoop in.
We’ll go way deeper into this (and how to rebalance the emotional load without resentment) on Dec 16 inside “Is he Emotionally Unavailable or are you Emotionally Burnt Out?” the first webinar in our Marriage Reset Series. Come hang out with us.

Feeling like you’re one meltdown away from turning in your “Mom Card”? Step outside … literally. A quick breath of fresh air or a five-minute walk can flip your nervous system from panic mode to human mode. Think of it as hitting the “restart” button on your brain without needing a software update. Fresh air lowers cortisol, movement boosts mood, and that tiny sliver of silence reminds you you’re an actual person, not just the family snack distributor.

And here’s the therapist’s secret: this tiny escape isn’t “selfish,” it’s psychology. Stepping away interrupts the stress spiral, gives your prefrontal cortex a chance to reboot, and restores your sense of control. You come back clearer, calmer, and far less likely to cry over spilled… well, everything. So go ahead: sneak outside, breathe, walk. Your brain will send you a thank-you note.

Ever notice how your husband can clock out like it’s his job, while you’re still running the night shift of household operations? Dinner, laundry, homework, bedtime negotiations — all while muttering, “must be nice to relax.” The truth? He’s not the only one with access to the off switch. You just haven’t given yourself permission to use it.

Because here’s the kicker: the problem isn’t that he clocks out — it’s that you don’t. You don’t need to earn rest, justify downtime, or schedule joy only when everything’s done (spoiler: it’s never all done). Start taking the damn break. The laundry will wait. Your sanity won’t.
