Do you or someone you love struggle with alcoholism, drug addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Whether you are still active in your addiction, already in recovery, recently relapsed or dealing with the anguish of having an addict in your family, you are facing profound difficulties. No matter what the addiction-alcohol, drugs, prescription meds, sex, or gambling-its effects are devastating. I can help. These addictions destroy lives and families, who too often continue enabling behaviors that fuel the addiction.

Imagine being in a place where you feel safe, supported and accepted, in a way that moves you to tell your story to someone who listens to you fully and really hears what you are saying. Most of us rarely experience this. However, this is the experience Gladys strives to create for each of her clients: a space of understanding, curiosity and hope, one that naturally leads to the uncovering of answers to life's difficulties, to the resolving of the anxieties that surround you.

The day-to-day can feel like it’s too much sometimes. If you find yourself feeling constantly overstimulated, agitated, overwhelmed and unfocused- you are not alone. Shame may be speaking loudly and telling you that you’re the only one struggling in this way, that you are not enough. Together we can begin shifting your relationship with yourself, the inner critic, and the world around you. We can work towards finding your voice, your creativity and your authenticity even in the most challenging of spaces. It is possible to move to a place of fulfillment and purpose where you are empowered to be a compassionate ally for yourself.

I offer psychodynamic group therapy. Group members often have histories of growing up in invalidating or otherwise harmful environments in which they were not heard, and rarely attuned to. They may be struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, attachment injuries, heightened shame, existential questions, and have a desire to develop a better relationship with themselves along with others - they have largely moved beyond immediate trauma responses and are looking to explore more deeply.

With gentleness, curiosity and humour, I've walked with people at all ages and stages: facing mental illness or trauma, dealing with infertility or baby loss, embracing queer identity, wrestling with spirituality, living with disability. Your story is central, but talking isn't everything: some of our deepest wounds are held in realms beyond words. Because I often work with trauma and embodied pain, I use neurobiology-based somatic approaches. I use Internal Family Systems (inner parts work) and other approaches that engage clients’ creative, imaginative, and meditative sides in the service of healing.

Entering therapy can be scary. There are so many things to think about. What happens if you feel flooded with emotion? What happens if opening up to another human being makes you feel shameful? Therapy can feel hard sometimes, but it can also potentially feel really good to have a time that is dedicated just for you. I strive to offer a caring, respectful and non-judgmental environment. I want to provide a space where you can articulate hard things, without worrying about what I may think.
