I am so grateful to have found Graciela. Since I have begun working with her, I have grown so much as a person, and I have seen how positively that growth has impacted my life. Her genuine compassion, listening abilities, and knowledgeable advice creates a safe environment I feel lucky to be welcomed into, no matter what I’m feeling or how my life is going. She has taught me the skills that help me navigate my life on a day-to-day basis.
One major win for me has been getting back my confidence and learning to love myself. When I met Graciela, I had gone through a lot of things between moving, being bullied, and other social issues, all which had deeply affected my self esteem and sense of self worth. I was an anxious, non-confrontational people pleaser who was very hard on herself, and in realizing how those things were hurting me, I was able to use Graciela’s help to take the steps towards becoming a more confident version of me. I still remember the moment I began to see my efforts pay off, as I told Graciela of a recent experience where I had stood up for myself. She helped me see that months before, I would have never done that. I happy to say I am now able to love myself in a way I didn’t believe possible, and my lifelong issues with anxiety are much more manageable as I continue to develop healthy coping mechanisms
