Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
Alicia is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist with experience in school settings, private practice, and community work with youth. She personalizes her approach to each person she works with.
I am not the expert on your life; you are the expert on your life. I am merely a temporary passenger helping you navigate this moment in your journey, and hoping ultimately to help you achieve your greatest potential.
Her first goal is to meet each client where they are, starting with their closest relationships and the relationship they hold with themselves. From there, she works alongside clients to highlight and strengthen the tools they already have, so they can build the life they want.
My approach
Therapy is tailored to each person's needs and goals. Rather than focusing only on problems, we'll work to identify the strengths you already have and build on them, so you leave each session feeling more capable of facing what's in front of you. For clients who'd like it, Christian counseling is available.
Approaches I draw from
For children (6+), preteens, teens, adults, and older adults (65+).
