I am a Licensed Master level Social Worker with over 27 years of experience. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues as well as military veterans. I have also aided people who have experienced emotional abuse and trauma related issues.
I am empathetic and able to talk with all different kinds of different people. My approach combines cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and other evidenced based psychotherapies.
I meet clients where they are in their lives and will taylor their treatment based on their needs and desires. I believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect.
If you are ready to take the steps toward change and seek a more fulfilling life I am here to support you in this process.
I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
Gloria is a wonderful therapist and has helped me through some very difficult times in my life. She is kind, understanding, truthful and has a lot of experience. I would recommend her to anyone.
Would not accept me as a patient with short notice to change therapist.
I’ve been working with Gloria for over a year now and am so grateful to her. She really listens to my concerns, brings up helpful tips to work through harmful thought patterns, and makes me feel like I do in fact matter.
I deeply appreciate Gloria's experience and empathy. I feel heard but she does hold me accountable, which is good for me. She has so much experience and wisdom in many fields, I am grateful for the time I have with her.
Gloria was amazing. Truly understood and helped me.
Great therapist who really cares!
Gloria is very understanding and helpful. I feel comfortable disclosing all of my thoughts and feelings.
Gloria has helped me through a very rough time in my twenties. She's an amazing listener and great with advice! She also taught me ways to cope with my feelings and expressed things to me about myself that I never really noticed. I would highly recommend Gloria and BetterHelp!
Gloria really helped me with great, concrete advice for taking things off my plate and dealing with stress and anxiety.
It was only my first session, but she was very professional.
I’ve had many therapists before but I never felt like I was progressing or growing from the sessions. That all changed when I got matched with Gloria. She has helped me so much in just 2 months. She listens, and asks questions to further open your mind beyond what you think/feel/see. I am so happy I found her at this point in my life.
