Meet Almira

I work with people healing from trauma, addiction, and other mental health challenges, specializing in care for Veterans, 1st Responders, and LGBTQi+ communities. I see people’s core strengths first, and these pave the path for our journey in therapy. My role is to help you access your internal strengths and resources and unleash your power to heal. I believe all people have the capacity to heal. With the right information, guidance, and opportunities, you can find relief from suffering and build the skills needed to rebuild your life.
