Hi, I’m Alma, a licensed therapist with an MSW from the University of Utah. I specialize in helping adults and women heal from relational trauma, anxiety, and patterns that keep them feeling stuck. My approach is gentle and empowering, balancing self-compassion with accountability through EMDR, IFS, and mindfulness. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish and offer a warm, safe space to help you reconnect with yourself and move toward lasting change.
My approach is gentle, collaborative, and deeply client-centered. I believe healing happens when we create space for compassion, curiosity, and accountability to coexist. I use EMDR to help process and release trauma, IFS to explore and integrate the parts of yourself that hold pain or protection, and mindfulness to build calm and awareness in daily life. Together, we move at your pace, honoring your story while helping you develop the tools and self-trust to move forward with confidence.
In our first session, my goal is to help you feel comfortable and understood. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy and what you’d like to work toward, at whatever pace feels right for you. I’ll ask some gentle questions to get to know your story and start identifying the patterns or experiences that might be showing up. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how we can work together and what the next steps might look like.
