My specialties
I work with a wide range of clients that all are trying to accomplish one thing; be the best version of themselves. I primarily work with children and families to overcome behavioral issues that may be negatively impacting the family. I help children and their families to understand the underlying issues that are at hand and how to confront them straight on to ensure that the family dynamic stable. I do this by looking their symptoms of depression, anxiety, or other emotional issues that are creating conflict both internally and externally. I am here to help guide you through processing your emotions and once again find peace with yourself and those around you.
I also work with individuals with issues related to anger management. At times it can feel like you have to constantly hold yourself back. You may struggle with keeping your temper down even around those that you love. Controlling your anger can often be difficult and exhausting, but you do not want to succumb to those feeling. I am to help individuals find their own strength and see new ways to combat these feelings while releasing that energy in a positive and productive manner.

Testimonials
Yma is the best, and I mean she is truly amazing! I was seeing her for about two years until my federal probation program ended and she really is great. My girlfriend loves her too. ~ Anonymous
Ms. Yma was very understanding about my situation and really helped me through my process. I had committed a federal crime and spent some time in prison for it, when I got out I was going through a divorce and trying to adjust back to my life after being released. I had a lot of problems but through her being so understanding she helped me through it all. ~Anonymous
Hobbies
