Are you or your teen feeling overwhelmed with school, work and expectations to be perfect? Are you feeling stuck in cycles, unsure of how to break free and connect with your calm, authentic self? There is a path forward, and I’ve spent over 15 years helping teens and adults build aligned, meaningful lives. Through a warm and collaborative relationship, we use EMDR, somatic tools, skill building and parts work to reclaim your life and voice. You are the expert in your lived experience and I bring a decolonizing, engaged and culturally responsive approach to keep your process moving toward living the life you truly want.
I’m specialized in working with adolescents and adults in their 20s and 30s healing from traumatic upbringings, family dysfunction, trauma, severe anxiety, academic burnout and depression. This life stage can be intense! You're shaping your career and building relationships that matter. I'm also an EMDR Certified Therapist and use this tool often.
As a second generation Puerto Rican, I bring a culturally responsive lens to this work. I understand that our struggles aren’t just internal, they’re shaped by larger systems that impact how we live, work, relate, and find belonging. If you're navigating multicultural identity, I've got you. Visit me at cristinalugo.info to learn more & book an intro call!
