Hola, I’m Alma-

 

I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, where I work with individuals struggling with suppressed trauma, confusing behaviors, and legacy burdens passed down through generations. Spanish is my first language and you may see or hear some words flow in and out because it’s who I am. My approach to therapy invites curiosity about your internal system. Together, we’ll explore the “why” the “por que” behind your behaviors and emotional responses, helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been hurt, silenced, or olvidados (forgotten).

 

If you’ve ever been told, “This is how it’s always been,” I want to help you break free from that narrative. I believe that where there is a burden, there is also a gift. Through our work, we’ll discover those gifts and create a life that reflects your true values.

 

I work with a wide range of clients, including children as young as five, adults, couples, and seniors. In addition to talk therapy, I integrate play and sand tray therapy into sessions to create a dynamic and engaging process of healing, regardless of age. I hold advanced training in IFS (Level 2), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. I am also licensed in Idaho and offer supervision for recent MFT/CPC graduates working towards licensure.

 

As an immigrant from León, Mexico, and a naturalized citizen at 18, I bring a deep understanding of how cultural identity and family dynamics shape our experiences. I’ve lived in multicultural spaces all my vida, including raising my own biracial family with my husband and two children. I volunteer with organizations such as Girls on the Run (GOTR), HELP of Southern Nevada, and University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Industry Leader Advisory Council, and I’m an active member of the Leadership Las Vegas class of 2016.

 

If you’re ready to begin your journey towards healing, I offer free 15-minute consultations. Let’s work together to create lasting change.
