Hi there, I'm Gema!

You may be managing a lot on the outside career, responsibilities, expectations while internally feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or disconnected. Anxiety that doesn’t turn off, difficulty slowing down, or feeling constantly on alert can be signs your mind and body are still responding to what you’ve been through.

My focus

I work with adults, many of them first-generation, and bicultural, who are navigating the invisible weight of patterns handed down long before they entered any college, classroom, or family dinner table. I have 9+ years in experience with working with adults experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and trauma.

My approach

My approach is culturally informed, bilingual, and rooted in healing. I use EMDR to help the brain reprocess uncomfortable experiences, CBT to gently challenge patterns of thinking that keep you stuck, and parts work to understand the different aspects of you that developed to deal with what happened to you.
