Welcome to
Aliento Psychotherapy Services!

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stop and breathe. Something in you already knows it's time. That quiet pull toward healing - that's worth honoring.

Maybe you're working through wounds that go back further than you can name. Maybe the distance between you and someone you love feels unbridgeable. Maybe you are standing at a crossroads in your own life, wondering who you are now.

For over 25 years, I've offered a warm, welcoming space where healing can take root: a place to mend childhood wounds, ease generational pain, and navigate life's transitions with greater strength and hope. I'm here to help you find your footing, your clarity, and your voice again - together.
