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.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

Are you curious about the tools and techniques I use to help my clients achieve their goals? I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic therapy. Through a collaborative and supportive process, we will work together to identify effective coping strategies, explore inner thoughts and feelings, and cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience. Let’s work together to discover the methods that work best for you and your personal growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

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.
