Giselle Pérez-Aguilar, LCSW, is a first-generation Mexicana Indigena doctoral student at the University of California, San Francisco. Giselle’s main interest lies in bridging Indigenous healing practices with Western mental health, using psychoanalytic approaches, spirituality, and environmental justice to help undocumented women of color heal from complex trauma, reclaim their power, and become earth stewards. She was inspired by her Boyle Heights roots, Zapotec ancestors, and educational endeavors at UC Berkeley and the University of Michigan School of Social Work to give back to the communities that have uplifted her throughout the years and move health research in the direction of liberation.
