I have helped clients with a wide range of challenges including addiction, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, behavioral issues, grief, relationship issues, court dependency cases, and difficulty coping with life changing situations. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional helping many clients who have experienced different types of trauma including domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

I am emphatic, good listener, cultural competent, patience, committed, and non judgmental.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an approach for which there is ample scientific evidenced. Psychological problems are based in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking, or learned patterns of unhelpful behaviors. CBT helps client learn better ways of coping with them. CBT is goal oriented and problem focused. CBT involves collaboration and active participation. I do emphasize what is going on in the person's current life, rather than what has led to their difficulties.
Eclectic
My approach combines Solution Focused, Client Centered, Trauma Focus (T-F CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and strengths based drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Theory.

Gloria has become the best part of my journey in healing. She is the best & she is so caring. I feel like she is really listening to me. Her advice has given me the strength I need to be more confident and set boundaries for myself to heal from the pain I experienced.
