If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward, I offer a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin to make sense of what’s happening inside and around you. I work with individuals across all age ranges, and I bring a calm, collaborative presence to each session.

My approach is integrative and client-centered. I draw from evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, while also incorporating holistic and strength-based methods tailored to your needs. I often support people navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, mood challenges, and the emotional layers of past experiences. Whether you’re facing a life transition, family stress, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, I’ll meet you with curiosity, respect, and care.

I welcome clients from all backgrounds and identities, and I’m committed to culturally responsive care. My role isn’t to change who you are; it’s to offer steady support and help you reconnect with your strengths, values, and voice. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, connection, and meaningful change.

As a client-centered psychotherapist with a concentration on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Trauma, I am dedicated to helping children overcome their difficult experiences. My approach focuses on addressing complex developmental trauma, using evidence-based interventions such as Critical Incident Densitization and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Throughout the treatment process, I work with children to modify negative, unhelpful thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that result from traumatic experiences. I also use different techniques of play and art to help children express their trauma narrative in a non-verbal way. With positive treatment and training outcomes, I believe that CBT, Client Centered Play Therapy, and CID offer a promising approach for children and adolescents who have experienced trauma

Alma is a compassionate, healing arts practitioner who specializes in ChakraDance for young children ages 3–7. Alma creates a nurturing, playful environment where each child feels seen, heard, and celebrated. Their approach is heavily influenced by child-centered play therapy, somatic psychology, polyvagal-informed movement, and expressive arts methodologies, ensuring that every session supports whole-child wellbeing—emotionally, cognitively, socially, and energetically.

ChakraDance for early childhood is grounded in expressive arts therapy, play therapy principles, and somatic psychology. Through music, guided imagery, and gentle movement, children learn to identify their feelings, regulate their nervous system, and build confidence in a way that feels joyful and natural. Each session is designed to meet kids exactly where they are developmentally—inviting them to explore colors, rhythms, and imaginative worlds that support healthy emotional and cognitive growth.

Parents love this approach because it strengthens essential psychological foundations such as:

• Emotional Regulation: Movement and rhythm help children calm their bodies and process big feelings in healthy ways.

• Body Awareness & Mindfulness: Kids learn to notice sensations and energy in their bodies, supporting early mind–body connection.

• Confidence & Self-Expression: The creative format encourages children to express themselves without fear of being “wrong.”

• Social-Emotional Learning: Group activities teach cooperation, empathy, turn-taking, and communication.

• Stress Reduction: Somatic movement reduces tension, supports nervous system balance, and cultivates a sense of inner safety.

• Sensory Integration: Guided movement helps organize sensory input, improving focus, coordination, and emotional stability.

• Creativity & Imagination: The chakra-themed stories and music activate imaginative play, essential for early cognitive development.

• Secure Attachment Skills: The warm, relational structure of the class models co-regulation, attunement, and responsiveness—core components of attachment-based work.

With a heart for healing and a passion for empowering little ones, Alma helps children build emotional resilience, grow in confidence, and discover their inner spark—one joyful movement at a time. To sign up, please click the contact button.
