I am a Certified Trauma Treatment Specialist (CTTP) and I specialize in treating Complex and Simple PTSD, Dissociative Disorders (including DID), and the aftereffects of surviving relational trauma.
I help people who have survived painful life experiences to finally break free from the toxic residues of their pasts. My clients come to me locked within cycles of flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, addiction, regret, anger, and/or shame and also deal with chronic self-esteem problems. In some cases, they may even feel their identity has been shattered or they have a fragmented sense of who they now are. Clients leave treatment with me feeling empowered, resilient, healthy and whole. They have a new lease on life because what they have been through is reprocessed and becomes strengths and proof of how amazing they really are.

I specialize in trauma work with advanced training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and mindfulness-based therapies including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
Have you been feeling overwhelmed lately? You're here because it's time to talk to someone, and you're ready to find some relief. Struggling means you're human, you’re feeling things and you’re trying your best. I can help you with the extra support you need and teach you how to be there for yourself in the midst of huge challenges. My clients often come to me saying that they beat themselves up for feeling bad, adding insult to injury, and they find relief once we are able to shift this process towards more self-love and acceptance.

" My specialties are substance use, mood disorders, and trauma - but I've been a therapist for nearly a decade and have a wide range of experience.
Do you feel like you're surfing the waves of life or getting smacking in the face by them? If it's the latter, you're in the right place. Therapy doesn't have to be intimidating - my sessions are usually lighthearted and uplifting - even as we tackle what's drowning you (am I overusing this water metaphor?) My sessions are based around highly respected models (CBT, DBT, ACT...for those of you who like acronyms), with a focus on mindfulness, self-compassion and accountability. I also love incorporating art-making in to engage your whole brain in the healing process.

Hi . I am Gilda and I am excited that you found me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I love working with people with a trauma history. In my work I utilize art, cognitive and dialectical behavioral therapy or narrative therapy to help you break from trauma bondage and addiction behaviors. Many times I find the Light and the Truth through play. When the inner child is hurt, feelings of rejection, abandonment, humiliation, betrayal and injustice keep you stuck in experiences of abuse. By living in the present you take your power back and respond to real situations rather than reacting to triggers of past experiences.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is an advanced treatment for mental distress caused by maladaptive patterns of thoughts and behaviors. KAP is a relational experience. A psychotherapist will guide and support you, and integrate the healing that occurs during the expansiveness of the ketamine experience. This treatment has shown significant improvement in those with mood disorders and PTSD symptoms. Additionally, I was a lead facilitator in two clinical trials using psychedelic medicine and completed a psychedelic assisted therapy training with a focus on end of life care.

You're transgender, queer, or questioning, and normative, cishet society wasn't made for you. You’ve intellectualized your internal struggle, understanding the 'why' and 'what' behind your feelings. Despite this insight, you’re still not experiencing the forward motion you crave. You want to navigate life authentically, without the weight of societal expectations holding you back.
