Alma Healing

Research has consistently shown that one of the most important and healing aspects of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. It is crucial to me that you feel understood, seen, supported, and trust in our work together. I utilize a collaborative approach in which I bring in my expertise and experience while you get to decide whether something works for you or not.

I utilize a collaborative approach that understands the role that cultural context, gender, and other factors play. I have been described as direct, yet thoughtful and warm. I have a sense of humor and I bring it in, appropriately. I am naturally a very open minded and curious person who likes to explore and dig deeper into the core, to truly understand. 

There is so much wisdom in the ways we’ve had to be in order to survive. It is important to honor that wisdom. Yet at some point, we want to move beyond mere survival and into fuller living. My goal is that through our work together, you will feel a greater sense of connection to yourself and others, and have greater choice in all aspects of your life. 

From a theoretical perspective, I primarily draw from psychodynamic, feminist theory, and somatic approaches. I have training and experience with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT), and draw interventions from those approaches as needed. 

I can provide therapy in English and Spanish.
