Alicia is a charismatic therapist with a client centered and strengths based approach. She supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, suicide/self harm, mood disorders, adjustments, relationships, grief, and stress. Alicia specializes in working with pre-teens, teens, and adults.
She approaches therapy with authenticity and hope. Her engaging and collaborative style honors each client’s values and personal strengths. She believes change is possible — even when things feel overwhelming or stuck. Therapy is not about judgment or quick fixes, but about building insight, resilience, and practical tools that lead to lasting growth. For clients who desire it, faith can be powerfully integrated into the therapeutic process in a way that feels respectful and supportive.
