As a therapist/teacher I ask that my clients be willing to grow. Growth can look many ways, but always involves practice. The people who take what they learn in sesh, practice it with insight, vulnerality, openness, and some diligence, they get the brilliance, sometimes very trying, and grace of somatic and relational transformation.

We all have the capacity to grow, learn, and make positive changes no matter what life throws our way. Psychotherapy is a way of understanding personal conflicts and creating meaning through self-discovery. It is one of the first steps towards achieving change. My style of treatment aims at exploring and understanding ways of thinking, behaving and relating to others that are outside of the one's personal awareness. This lack of awareness can often result in repetitive patterns of behavior that leads to dissatisfaction and emotional anguish in a person's life.

As a therapist, I have experience in working with adults who have been experiencing depression and anxiety. I also have experience working with trauma and Intimate Partner Violence.

I work collaboratively and creatively to help you/your child or teen identify the root causes underlying the current struggles and increase awareness of solutions in your lives. I use play/art techniques to explore thoughts and feelings, emphasize therapeutic experiments, and process traumas to help you/your child feel better and improve the quality of your lives. I have more than 20 years experience helping children, teens, adults, and parents with trauma, grief, anxiety, family conflicts, bipolar, ADHD, and depression, among other issues. I also love working with LGBTQ community, military families, twins, and parenting struggles.

As a person-centered therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand & resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

You’ve been working hard and pushing through the instability and frustrations of a global pandemic for years now. Maybe you’ve even recognized the value of mental health, attempted to set boundaries at work, or added self-care tasks to your to-do list. From the outside, so much in your life seems to be going “right” but deep down you’re exhausted. Your efforts to leave work at work and to listen to a meditation app in the morning aren’t cutting it. You just aren’t happy and you’re not sure why. You may have even been to therapy before and learned some decent strategies, but didn’t get the deep results you were hoping for. I can help

Hello there! I’m Alicia. I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, but you might also call me a compassionate guide and mind-body connector. I help women, men, and non-binary individuals, couples, and triad clients who long for a supportive space to heal what has been hurt and create an environment to thrive through meaningful connection. My clients may feel stuck in patterns and would like to develop more meaningful relationships. Or maybe they are struggling to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, or those of a loved one. Or perhaps they are beginning to process trauma.

I love to work with all humans working through issues related to self-worth, relationships, identity, anxiety, etc. I want to provide that safe space that may be missing. My goal is to help adults become introspective and limit the recreation of learned patterns. I am here to help you make a change for the better. I am a strong believer in individual autonomy and the power we have over our own lives. My mantra is, "When you focus on the good, the good gets better".

I believe that life provides many opportunities that are meant to help us transform psychologically. I highly value personal growth and believe that my endless search for personal growth informs my practice. The more I know, the more I enhance my clinical practice and provided quality treatment. I believe that as humans, we are meant to have fulfilling lives. Unfortunately, events happen that distort our ability to see possibilities and can further guide us to unhealthy behaviors. Regardless of the situation, it is never too late to regain control of your life.

I have worked in the mental health industry for 20-plus years. I use several therapeutic approaches that allow myself and my clients, to get to the bottom of their challenges and find their best self.
