Hi there, I'm Alvira!

I have a strong interest in working with members of the LGBTQ+ community, as well as with people who are struggling with grief and loss. I have past experience working with families involved with the juvenile dependency court system, and this work has taught me about the tremendous resilience, connection, and growth.

My focus

I use a strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to meet individual needs, which may include: improving your relationships with yourself and others, healing from painful or traumatic experiences, processing grief and significant life changes, or managing feelings of anxiety. You are not alone in these struggles.

My approach

I have received training in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy, Adlerian Family therapy, Narrative therapy, Solution-focused therapy (SFT), and Motivational Interviewing. It is hard to be a person in our modern world, and there are many things that can feel out of our control.
