Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. Life’s challenges—whether it’s managing anxiety, navigating depression, dealing with stress, or improving relationships—can feel overwhelming. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I believe in meeting you where you are, creating a space where you can be truly heard, and supporting you as you take steps toward becoming the best version of yourself. I work from a holistic perspective, recognizing that mental, emotional, and physical well-being are deeply interconnected. Whether we’re addressing current life stressors or exploring deeper patterns from the past, my goal is to help you understand and transform what is no longer serving you. Together, we will build the skills and insights you need to manage anxiety, heal from depression, and create more fulfilling relationships. With a person-centered, strength-based approach, I draw from various therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies. Each session is designed to empower you with practical tools to cope with life’s challenges, while fostering self-compassion and resilience. If you’re ready to begin this journey of self-discovery and healing, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Hi there! Thank you for pausing here. Deciding to look for help was hard to begin with and finding the right helper seems even more difficult, I know. Whatever issues you are facing, perhaps its depression that is attached to your past, stress related to your present, or anxiety that is attaching itself to your future, I can help you work through it. It’s a privilege for me to be able to share lessons of hope and walk alongside my clients, until they have the breakthrough that they so desperately desire. My greatest joy is to see you step out from darkness into a brighter, lighter future – stronger, wiser, and hopeful! Life has not always been easy, so let's talk about it. There’s a Japanese practice of using liquid gold to fill in the cracks of broken pottery. Kintsugi, as it’s called, teaches that broken objects are not something to hide but to display with pride. I am here to help you fill the cracks and move on with your life. The one that is truly meant for you. - Talk soon, Gloria

If you struggle with self-esteem, managing emotions, boundaries in relationships, or you've survived a traumatic childhood or young adulthood, I may be a good fit for you. Abusive or neglectful experiences from our past can impact our self-worth, our capacity to cope with stress, and our ability to feel safe connecting with others. I specialize in working with people who have had trauma in their lives or Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, whether in your childhood, in a relationship, or due to COVID or another recent isolated experience. I offer weekly therapy as well as skills training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. I see therapy as a resource for you, a way to find coping skills that actually work for you. You can learn to shift the way you respond to stress & let go of unhelpful patterns. My other areas of expertise: working with young adults facing anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions, & people facing the challenges of pregnancy and/or new parenthood. I'm committed to helping you heal. Through our work together, I will help you find compassion, respect and forgiveness for yourself. By starting with a safe and supportive relationship in therapy, you can become grounded, confident, and able to feel more connected to others. Please feel free to reach out to discuss options and make a plan. You are worth it.

Thanks for clicking! Feeling like you're not growing? Have you hit a snag or is there a barrier that is keeping you from meeting your goals? I'd love to help! I would like to help you reach the longer-lasting effects that are the consequences of an insight-based and action-oriented approach to counseling. Let's figure out what happened, how it's affecting you, and what we can do together to help you overcome it, learn from it, and grow. My specialty is Gestalt psychotherapy. I use this model to help clients understand how they might be unhelpfully reacting to bad events or people and learn to overcome those reactions so as to become stronger individuals. Digging deep is part of this orientation to therapy, but only at your pace. I will be with you through this and through your growth. I would like to build a positive therapeutic relationship with you so that we can help you meet your goals of increased insight and self-exploration. The process of finding a matching counselor is definitely overwhelming. I look forward to talking and meeting you! Feel free to call me for a free consultation. For prospective supervisees, please contact me!
