Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
I am all about secure attachment and emotional wellbeing. My clients resonate with my Emotionally Focused and Narrative therapeutic approach as it bridges your narratives with the ongoing emotions that come with them. These modalities offer you the opportunity to feel your emotions and create the open space to be vulnerable with yourself and your loved ones. My approach also provides skills to create emotional safety within your relationships, understand the narratives of your life and how to promote personal growth through mindfulness.
