Here we go again. Your teenager's mood is foul and you have no idea why. You've heard, "Oh wait until the teenage years," but didn't realize how tough this would be. There must be a way to help, but it seems like nothing gets them out of their funk. It's hard to watch your child seem so unmotivated, sad, anxious, and irritated. And heaven forbid you'd ask them to complete even the simplest of tasks, which results in a groan like you're telling them to build a house from the ground up. But the worst is when they blame you for it all. If you're giving your teen everything they could ever want, what do they have to be so sad about?

As individuals we may feel angry, sad, anxious or overly stressed in our daily lives. As couples, we may have problems in our relationship that lead to conflict with our spouse or partner. As parents, we may face various challenges (educational, emotional and behavioral) with our children, and need guidance in how to help them, and ourselves. These life circumstances can erode our sense of well-being and strain our relationships in all spheres of life. They stop us from functioning to the best of our capabilities. I work to improve your functioning, decrease conflict and to make life enjoyable.

Hi, my name’s Alicia! I believe in meeting people where they are in their lives. I am a huge champion of challenging and empowering youth to be independent, confident, and their own person. I like to create a team environment using a collaborative approach with the youth and family. Together, we can strive to build a solid foundation based on trust, respect, compassion and being open minded. There is nothing more exciting when a child recognizes their potential in themselves and finds their voice! I utilize evidenced based modalities such as CBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and behavior modification strategies.

Since 2014, I have worked on the child study teams in the public-school systems. I enjoy explaining to parents and children how they best learn and what schools can do to help them achieve their goals. Watching parents and kids get a better understanding of how their brain works and they can use their strengths to balance out their challenges is essential to being a psychologist to me.
