About Gricelda
My patients are individuals seeking nonjudgmental, compassionate help to overcome symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other challenges interfering with daily life. I offer a safe, trusting environment where they feel heard. My goal is to help them to better understand their challenges, regain a sense of control, and build the skills needed to move forward with greater resilience and healthier control of their lives.
By combining effective, evidence-based techniques, collaboration, tailored coping strategies, and a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship, healing and growth can take place.

About me
Individuals identify unhelpful patterns and develop effective coping strategies for meaningful, lasting changes. I work collaboratively using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping patients address their unique concerns to improve their overall quality of life.
