About me

Hello there, I'm Alma. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish. I have experience working with elementary-age children and young adults. I can help you manage anxiety to avoid burnout, and in children to avoid losing control of their emotions. We'll use a whole self approach, addressing the needs of your mind, body and spirit. I integrate mindfulness to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself. Whether you're dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety, I'm here to help. You deserve a safe space to be heard, heal and grow.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll start with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work though in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I have a wealth of experience working with parents who have challenges dealing with their children's behavior. I help children understand their emotions and feelings and help them manage them so they can succeed in school.

A very approachable person. Very easy to talk to and she makes sure you are okay each session. She uses her own experiences to relate and give advice. Sessions feel more welcoming and less surface level, she truly cares and listens.
