Embodied Healing for Women and Couples
A Different Approach for Lasting Change
Hey there! I’m Gissell (she/her/ella), Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In our work together, you can expect more than relief—you’ll gain a deeper connection to yourself and others, an improved capacity to handle life’s stressors, and a renewed sense of fulfillment. This process fosters profound healing, helping you feel in tune with your body and the story it holds, and equipping you to navigate life with resilience and inner calm.
I am a San Diego-based Psychotherapist currently accepting new clients both in-person and online to individuals and couples residing in California.
A Trauma-Informed Space for Healing and Connection
Finding Peace, Reclaiming Yourself
Change can be hard, even a little scary—but it’s often the path towards the life and relationships we truly want. If you find yourself feeling lost or weighed down, you’re not alone. Life can be challenging, and the path forward isn’t always easy. Yet within each of us lies a capacity to heal, grow, and find peace. My practice offers a holistic space where you can reconnect with yourself—mind, body, and spirit—and rediscover a renewed sense of groundedness and freedom. Learn More About Individual Therapy
For Couples Seeking Deeper Connection
Healthy relationships are foundational to our well-being, yet building and maintaining them can be challenging. Together, we’ll work to break unhelpful patterns, enhance communication, and foster a safe, embodied space where both partners feel valued, heard, and deeply connected. Whether you’re navigating life changes, looking to rekindle connection, or hoping to restore balance, my goal is to support you both in feeling secure, understood, and aligned in your journey together.
