I’m the owner of G.E.M. Therapy LLC and your future therapist! I’m obsessed with true-crime, to the point of freaking myself out, I like to say f*ck (I encourage you to lean into some of this language too, if you feel comfortable), and I too know what it’s like to live with that b!tch anxiety. I work with adults who have been through some heavy sh!t and need a space to be seen, heard, and validated. They are ready to work through their traumas, ditch people pleasing, and take hold of their anxiety. As your therapist, I hold unconditional positive regard for you. I show up as compassionate, authentic, non-judgmental, validating, and direct. My role is to guide you in exploring and processing life experiences, while building the skills you need to take your life back AND to help keep you accountable. I'll point out your strengths and areas of awesomeness AND I'll let you know when I call BS. I get it, that FEELS uncomfortable. Not many people enjoy being challenged on patterns of thinking and being that have served them so far, especially when those ways of being are rooted in something we had no choice in, but that is the space where growth happens! There is risk in everything we do and don’t do. Take the risk, let yourself get a little uncomfortable, and feel growth happen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/42cdf9a1-9e9e-4c0d-84b1-d82372cd4fc4/psychtoday+.png About Me - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://gemtherapyllc.com/contact-trauma-therapist-in-madison-wisconsin-and-florida daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/a27edccd-715b-4ddc-a2aa-0a68fb89d1c0/GM+%2877%29_websize+%281%29.jpg Contact - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/202e7280-be34-4061-a4fa-fe5f223e2f6e/sneak+peek+%287%29.jpg Contact - Getting Connected I am often in and out of sessions throughout the day and may miss your call. Please leave a voicemail or send me an e-mail and I will get back to you within 1-2 business days. Crisis Resources I’m so glad you are reaching out for help! I do not provide crisis care, but I am happy to connect you to resources. If you are experiencing a life threatening emergency and are in need of immediate support please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. Please know there are alternatives to involving law enforcement in your mental health care. A community Based Alternative , Don’t Call The Police , states “We know that involving law enforcement in situations that they are not best equipped to handle can cause more harm than good. These harms disproportionately impact communities of color and the populations most in need of systemic and community supports. We founded dontcallthepolice.com to provide easy access to alternatives to calling the police when faced with a situation that requires de-escalation and/or intervention, and can be best managed by a community-based crisis response provider.” Urgent mental health support can be reached here: Dial or Text 988 to be routed to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline National Suicide Prevention Lifeline : 1-800-273-8255 Dane County Crisis Intervention : 608-280-2600 Wisconsin County Crisis Line Directory https://gemtherapyllc.com/madison-wisconsin-therapy-investment daily 0.75 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/1655061111783-ZMJ2X30ENOIU8EZ6IYZN/unsplash-image-joqWSI9u_XM.jpg Investment https://gemtherapyllc.com/resources-for-mental-health-therapy-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2023-01-08 https://gemtherapyllc.com/gem-therapy-madison-wisconsin daily 1.0 2026-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/2d512152-608c-480b-8643-ab320580b6f1/Office+Update+6.jpg Home Trauma Therapy office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/9f506c2b-d8ad-42a8-8107-b01a09477ea5/Office+Update+4.jpg Home Trauma Therapy Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/8d9c39a0-a7be-4915-9b2d-9656e1a41ee8/Office+Update+5.jpg Home Trauma Therapy Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/6c3d2d50-9a3e-4167-875d-49be095d3632/psychcentral.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/820a7087-54ed-4482-b404-82a5f6d61eb1/UpJourney.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/820a7087-54ed-4482-b404-82a5f6d61eb1/UpJourney.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/6fe79a36-52dd-4742-a2d8-5da2eb411a7a/Gabrielle+Montana Home - Individual Therapy You took a risk and exposed your struggles, pain, the heaviness of "Will I ever get over this? I'm going to feel this forever." And you were met with "You are so strong!" "Everything happens for a reason." These statements, often given by well intentioned family, friends, and acquaintances, SUCK to hear. As much as they push us to confront the nature of human resiliency, they don't actually create space for us to get there. In fact, they skip over the most important part of achieving resiliency, which is holding space for the raw emotional suckage that anxiety, trauma, and heavy life experiences leave us with. Space where we can scream "This F*cking sucks! Be angry with me!" We NEED space for anger, self-pity, screaming to the universe "Why me?", grief, despair, raw emotional suckage. So, that's what I give you. Space for that. And based on your unique individual needs, we create a balance of honoring the suckage while incorporating healthy coping skills, interpersonal skills, and daily habits to help take back control of your life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/337714f6-dcab-45ab-b220-58ad8a772903/Brainspotting Home - Brainspotting David Grand, PhD discovered that "where you look affects how you feel." Brainspotting is a focused mindfulness treatment that allows a person to process trauma that is deep in the subcortical brain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/1655051003229-ZUVFWF8HRCF20GR86K22/unsplash-image-BbhqDutqJew.jpg Home https://gemtherapyllc.com/therapy-books-on-healing-trauma-and-anxiety-trauma-therapy-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2025-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/9ed40bc9-d152-4759-9ad3-1fbd866e62fa/GM+%282%29.jpg https://gemtherapyllc.com/trauma-therapy-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511387030-5LI1E5QMVTQ2RY9S00A4/20140228_Trade+151_0046+1.jpg Trauma & PTSD https://gemtherapyllc.com/therapy-for-college-students-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/1662410797691-ZZWCJ77QP4E565E6ZZ0I/unsplash-image-BYGLQ32Wjx8.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/be6a8583-fab4-4e41-b2bd-b3393296b5a5/GM+%2814%29.jpg https://gemtherapyllc.com/brainspotting-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2023-04-06 https://gemtherapyllc.com/substance-use-therapy-in-madison-wisconsin daily 0.75 2025-11-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/da8b6a16-bac3-4f1e-a81b-a023d942be0c/sneak+peek+%2818%29.jpg https://gemtherapyllc.com/groups daily 0.75 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6279c64ae991783ff0e00339/90743336-fbd9-47fc-befc-f9b22dc85099/unsplash-image-ukzHlkoz1IE.jpg https://gemtherapyllc.com/for-therapists daily 0.75 2026-03-15
