Hi, I’m Alicia- welcome!

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space where you can move at your own pace, whether this is your first time or whether you’re looking for a new fit.

I work with individuals, couples and families – both in person and online – helping people process past experiences, deepen their relationships, and feel more at home in their own minds and bodies. Maybe you’re carrying the weight of childhood trauma and want to understand how it has shaped you. Perhaps intense emotions feel difficult to manage – anger, for example, might feel overwhelming or hard to express – and you’re looking for ways to bring more balance into your life. Or you might be searching for your place in the world – navigating questions of identity, culture or belonging. I also enjoy working with people who use humor as a defense mechanism- who crack jokes in the face of pain, not to avoid it but as a way to cope and make sense of the experience.

Regardless of what you are facing, we’ll explore it together with curiosity and care, creating space for support, self discovery and growth. My approach to therapy is person-centered and compassionate, drawing from modalities like Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Psychodynamic Approaches. Your story matters and I am here to honor it – offering support in a space where you feel heard and prioritized.

If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and see how we can work together. Whether in person or online, we’ll find what feels best for you. Reach out anytime, I look forward to hearing from you!me know and I would be happy to assist.
