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, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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.
