Jessica Pic 2

Hi I'm Jessica,

Founder | Trauma Conscious Therapist

She/Hers/Ella

I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) therapist committed to support you in reconnecting and reclaiming the life you deserve. Together, we’ll collaborate towards your personal path to healing, with a focus on inner strength and peace.

 

Guiding people toward healing and liberation is my passion, as I’ve witnessed how deeply transformative it can be when we reclaim our power and create space for our authentic selves to thrive.​​​

​

I believe in the power of connection and growth, and it’s an honor to walk alongside others as they reclaim their stories and thrive.​

How I Can Help You

With a focus on somatic and liberatory approaches, I guide individuals and communities of color in healing from trauma, reclaiming their stories, and thriving beyond systemic and generational burdens.

​

Here are three key ways I support trauma healing:

​

Releasing the Impact of Trauma

Through somatic practices, we’ll work to release stress and pain stored in the body, creating a sense of calm and balance. 

​

Building Resilience and Self-Compassion

Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, nurture self-compassion, and develop tools for navigating life with greater ease.

​

Liberating Generational Patterns

By addressing the impact of intergenerational trauma, we’ll foster understanding and pave the way for healthier, more empowered futures.​​

​

Together, we’ll create a path that honors your resilience, empowers your growth, and nurtures the connection you seek within yourself, your family, and your community. Your wellbeing matters, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

My Journey

Where it started and how it's going

01

The Beginning

Growing up in a culturally rich yet often challenging environment and being forced to migrate, I witnessed firsthand how the complexities of intergenerational experiences and systemic barriers could deeply affect individuals and families.

What I Learned

These early observations planted a seed of empathy and a desire to understand the roots of emotional pain and resilience. I am committed to creating an inclusive space where people of all backgrounds can feel seen, valued, and supported.

Now

I believe healing is grounded in ancestral knowledge and is both personal and communal. Inspired by the strength of the communities I serve and belong to, I strive toward collective liberation and empowerment. Every journey I witness reaffirms that transformation is possible, and I’m honored to co-create spaces of resilience and authenticity with those I serve.
