Hi there, I'm Alicia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering psychotherapy in California and Colorado. Are you feeling lost or disconnected and unsure how to move forward? Is self-compassion hard to access? Many of my clients seek clarity, meaning, and inner alignment. With your permission, I hold a grounded and spacious space for exploration—supporting insight, healing, and reconnection with the parts of you that are asking for attention, often using trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches such as EMDR.
My approach is rooted in mindfulness, compassion, and curiosity. I’m trauma-informed, EMDR-certified, IFS-informed, and have experience with psychedelic-assisted therapy and mindfulness practices. I help clients heal acute and childhood trauma, navigate anxiety, panic, and depression, and move through life transitions with greater clarity and ease.
Clients often describe my approach as warm, compassionate, authentic and strengths-based. I honor how your experiences, culture, and environment shape who you are. I can’t do the work for you, but I walk alongside you with curiosity and care, supporting insight, healing, and deeper connection with yourself.
