Known for her caring and engaging approach, Alicia uses research-backed therapies to help individuals overcome stress, trauma, anxiety, and other challenges. When working with adults, Alicia finds that assessments can help to validate an individual’s experience and create a collaborative environment to plan for their future.

Alicia has carved out a niche in working with individuals who are considered gifted and talented;

“I’ve recognized over the years that children who are gifted have a unique set of needs beyond academic support. Some gifted children can struggle with anxiety at young ages given they have a greater capacity to learn, however, their emotional development has not caught up yet. They can also struggle to connect with some of their peer groups, and at times need direction on how to manage their intellect compared to others in the room. I support my clients through filling these gaps and understanding the complex needs of a gifted and talented individual through the lifespan.”

Alicia is passionate about her work and brings energy and enthusiasm to everything she does. A former competitive dancer, Alicia values staying physically fit as an integral part of maintaining her mental health.
