About me

Hi, I’m Gisela—a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting adults through life’s unexpected transitions, emotional healing, and personal growth. I specialize in culturally responsive care, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact—and how small shifts can lead to meaningful change. Whether you're navigating grief, anxiety, workplace stress, or simply feeling stuck, I offer a space where your story is honored and your strengths are the foundation of our work.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, you can expect a calm and welcoming space where we’ll discuss what brings you in, what you hope to gain, and how I can support you. I’ll guide you through the process, answer questions, and together we’ll begin building a plan that feels doable and empowering—no pressure—just a thoughtful beginning to a journey that’s yours to shape.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out most about my therapeutic approach is how deeply it’s rooted in cultural humility, bilingual accessibility, and a strengths-based lens. I don’t just offer therapy—I co-create a space where your lived experience is honored, your identity is never questioned, and your healing is guided by what already makes you resilient.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

If you’re someone who values depth, clarity, and a therapist who truly listens, you’re in the right place. My clients are curious, open to growth, and often juggling multiple roles in life. Many are bilingual, multicultural, or navigating systems that don’t always reflect their lived experience. What we share is a desire for healing that respects culture, identity, and the complexity of being human.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

With over two decades of experience supporting adults through life’s unexpected turns, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll explore patterns that may be holding you back and practice tools that foster resilience, clarity, and self-compassion. My approach is collaborative and culturally responsive—grounded in your values, your story, and the strengths you already carry.
