LMFT, 8 years of experience
Hello, my name is Gladis, and I am here to support you. Do you feel like you're carrying a heavy burden that's weighing you down? Have you ever had a difficult experience that you never shared with anyone, especially during childhood? Maybe it's been a struggle to cope with mental health issues like addiction, depression, or anxiety, and you think it could be linked to something that happened to you when you were younger?. I specialize in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and my expertise is in treating childhood trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Together, we can navigate various forms of trauma, such as grief, loss, divorce, separation, domestic violence, and emotional, physical, and sexual abuse. By working with me, you can gain a deeper understanding of how these experiences have impacted you, both emotionally and physically. This knowledge can help you regain control over your reactions and behaviors and begin the healing process. I hold an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy and an M.S. in Clinical Psychology from California Lutheran University. Additionally, I am certified in Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Managing and Adapting Practice, Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Positive Parenting Programs.
Are you ready to embark on a journey towards a more positive and fulfilling life? With me as your therapist, you can expect to feel hopeful and empowered as we work together to heal and stabilize any symptoms you may be experiencing. I will provide a safe and supportive space for you to gain valuable insights into your experiences and help you rebuild trust in yourself and others. Let’s work together to overcome life’s challenges and rediscover your inner strength and confidence.
As a bilingual (Spanish/English) clinician with extensive experience serving diverse communities, I bring a compassionate and empathetic approach to help those who have suffered from grief and loss, domestic violence, sexual abuse, physical abuse, or neglect as children. I believe in providing a safe and nurturing environment where my clients can heal and move forward with their lives. I work closely with each individual to create a personalized plan that meets their specific needs and supports their goals. As someone who has personally experienced trauma and the healing power of therapy, I understand firsthand the profound impact of traumatic experiences on our perceptions of ourselves, others, and the world around us. Let’s work together to overcome these challenges and rediscover your inner strength and resilience.
I help my clients heal their inner child and to enjoy a more fulfilling life.

Gladis has been great in helping me through my childhood trauma by validating my experiences and asking questions that gently nudged me towards reflections. Would 100% recommend her for anyone struggling with childhood emotional neglect and CPTSD symptoms.

She is honest and sincere. I’m able to be venerable and not feel judge. She will help you connect behaviors to trauma. She is straight to the point and does not sugar coat anything. I appreciate she uses all modality of therapy to help.
