Hi! I'm Graciela. I am a bilingual trauma-focused therapist with advanced ivy-league training, graduate level education, extensive clinical experience — and a whole lot of grit in my no-nonsense approach to therapy. You can expect me to be authentic and real, down to earth, wise, and validating as we work together to help you feel better and reach your treatment goals as soon as we can. My job is to put myself out of the job as soon as possible. See you at the top!

Every person experiences seasons of life that can feel overwhelming. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, substance use, grief, or major life transitions, my goal is to provide a safe, collaborative, and evidence-based therapeutic experience where meaningful, lasting change can occur.

For nearly two decades, I have had the privilege of serving individuals, couples, and families throughout Nevada as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. In addition to direct clinical practice, I have served as a Clinical Director, executive leader, clinical supervisor, consultant, educator, and program developer, helping develop innovative behavioral healthcare programs and clinical services across Nevada. These diverse experiences have allowed me to work with individuals from virtually every walk of life while treating a broad range of complex behavioral health concerns.

My approach is individualized, practical, and grounded in research-supported treatment. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy to develop treatment plans tailored to each client's unique strengths, needs, and goals.

I believe people are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. My commitment is to provide compassionate, clinically excellent care while helping clients build resilience, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and create healthier, more meaningful lives.

Hello, I am a psychotherapist, and I currently accept new individual clients. My area of expertise is holding space for clients in deeper levels of healing and achieving self-leadership and self-compassion. The ultimate goal for healing is to safely rebuild and rewire our neuro-network, attachment, and autonomic nervous system. I have been a Vegas local for 16 years, after living in China for 19 years. I am proficient in both languages, and my practice integrates both modern western science and ancient eastern wisdom, to hold space for you navigating the world, through different walks of life.

I help adults and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in their relationships find clarity, confidence, and real tools that actually work.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works from a relational and systems perspective. I believe many of our current struggles make sense within the context of our relationships and lived experiences.

Clients can expect a calm, steady presence and a collaborative therapy space that is respectful and paced according to their readiness. My goal is to support meaningful and sustainable change.

People seek therapy because they instinctively know that by reaching out to make a connection, they can get a greater understanding and courage. I would like to assist you in the process of gaining better clarity in your life. Through this connection, we can discover a bridge that leads to your inner power and confidence. Working as a Critical Incident Stress Debriefing Counselor, I use several tools, including Mindfulness Techniques, Solution Focused Therapy, Functional Family Therapy, and practices from my book The "I AM" Solution. I want to empower you to find your potential and transformation. Peace and Blessings.
