I came into therapy with a fear of being judged and not knowing what would happen. When I found my therapist and started talking to her these last couple months, I have felt so respected her and seen, and she’s helped me in more ways than she’ll ever know, she’s one of the best people in this world and she has helped me tremendously.

Gloria is very attentive in listening, helping me to identify my problem areas, suggesting helpful possible next steps and keep encouraging me. She also patiently helps me to better discern my thoughts so that I will not be believing in lies I am telling myself but able to train myself to re-story my experiences and circumstances that helps me walk more positively into the future. I appreciate her help and guidance. I am gaining more confidence in my life instead of constantly doubting myself. She is a great support!
