Through these experiences she developed her skill in tailoring counseling to the unique needs of each client from a variety of backgrounds. She values collaboration and often incorporates coping skills training, mindfulness, narrative techniques, and psychoeducation into sessions. Her goal is always to help clients build on their existing strengths, develop healthier patterns, and increase their sense of self-worth.
In her current role at Untying Knots Counseling, Gloria will work with children, adolescents, and adults both in-person and via telehealth. She is committed to making counseling an accessible and meaningful experience, meeting clients exactly where they are.
