A seasoned, interactive partnership to help you decode complex patterns, heal from trauma, and reclaim your personal agency.

Expert Guidance Through Life’s Greatest Challenges

Taking the step to address deep-seated emotional conflict and trauma is a significant act of courage. With over a decade of clinical experience, Alicia provides a sophisticated level of care for individuals navigating the aftermath of Domestic Abuse, Intimate Partner Violence, and complex trauma. She serves as a steady, expert guide for those who feel they have lost control due to life’s most heavy stressors, offering the clinical tools and the empathetic space necessary to regain one's footing.

Breaking Patterns and Building Confidence

Alicia believes that the therapeutic relationship is the ultimate vehicle for insight and personal fulfillment. Her sessions are dynamic and interactive; she integrates Psychodynamic theory to help clients explore generational relationship patterns alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address immediate goals. She utilizes evidence-based relaxation techniques, such as Guided Imagery, to help clients physically and mentally process the symptoms of anxiety and PTSD. Whether you are navigating a difficult divorce, struggling with codependency, or seeking to improve family communication, Alicia provides the seasoned expertise required to move beyond survival and toward a life of confidence and growth.

Clinical Focus:

  • Trauma & PTSD Recovery: Expert intervention for Post-Traumatic Stress, utilizing trauma-informed CBT and interpersonal processing.

  • Domestic Violence Advocacy: A specialized, secure environment for survivors of intimate partner abuse to heal, set boundaries, and rebuild.

  • Complex Relationship Dynamics: Addressing codependency, family conflict, and the breakdown of communication through an interpersonal lens.

  • Stress & Anxiety Mastery: Implementing Guided Imagery and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBCT) to manage physiological triggers.

Integrative, Expert, & Trauma-Informed Supervision

With over a decade of experience, Alicia’s supervision style is an active partnership designed to move clinicians from "clinical survival" to professional mastery. She balances deep theoretical insight with practical, high-level guidance, serving as a steady guide for counselors-in-training. She offers the sophisticated tools and empathetic space needed to navigate the field’s most heavy stressors with confidence.

Supervisory Style:

  • The Depth-to-Action Approach: Alicia utilizes Psychodynamic theory to decode complex client patterns and countertransference, paired with CBT and Solution-Focused tools for immediate, actionable interventions.

  • Specialized Trauma Mentorship: She provides a "safety net" for clinicians handling high-acuity cases involving Domestic Violence and PTSD. The focus remains heavily on ethical boundary-setting and risk assessment.

  • Sustainability & Regulation: Just as she does with clients, Alicia integrates Mindfulness and Guided Imagery into the supervisory process to help clinicians manage vicarious trauma and maintain their own clinical stamina.

  • Interactive Feedback: Clinicians can expect a dynamic, direct, and nurturing environment. Alicia does not just monitor hours; she helps supervisees refine their clinical "voice" and reclaim their professional agency.
