Hi there, I'm Gloria!
Welcome! Taking the step to seek therapy is a powerful act of self-care, and finding the right therapist to guide you is just as important. I bring 35 years of dedicated experience within the San Francisco Public Health System to my private practice. I have had the privilege of working as both a clinical psychotherapist and a leadership manager.
My focus
In our work together, I utilize a strengths-based, solution-focused approach. Rather than focusing solely on what feels broken, we will identify the inherent resilience, skills, and wisdom you already possess. Together, we will build practical strategies to help you overcome obstacles, cultivate clarity, and create a more fulfilling life.
My approach
My therapeutic style is warm, upbeat, and collaborative. I believe that therapy shouldn't just feel like hard work - it should also be a space of encouragement, hope, and authentic connection. Clients appreciate my energetic and positive demeanor, which helps create a safe, non-judgmental environment where you can feel truly seen and supported.
