I’m Jem, a therapist, coach and certified yoga and meditation teacher that provides in person and online therapy in Queens, NYC. I seek to empower individuals and couples who are ready to understand themselves and each other more deeply, cope effectively with various life stressors, navigate conflict, build confidence, or want to integrate mental health into their overall wellness. My therapy style is easy going, curious, warm, open-minded and collaborative. I enter each session with warm, grounded presence that invites healing, growth, and gentle transformation that is guided by a holistic, trauma-informed lens.

At the heart of my work is a deep interest in relationships. Relationships may involve your experience with yourself and others and may include food, spirit, sex, your body, work, money, and drugs and alcohol. I am not only interested in how you tell your story but often integrate mindfulness, movement, and body awareness into sessions to help you and your partner(s) reconnect with themselves, each other, and expand into a more authentic way of being.

My approach is also shaped by my own journey: growing up in between cultures, working as a CPA in the fast-paced world of investing, and publishing academic research. Currently, I am in the process of becoming a sex coach, further deepening my work around intimacy, embodiment, self-expression, and relational healing.
