I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist , with a focus on assisting survivors of childhood trauma. I received my Masters in Counseling Phycology from Holy Names University in Oakland, Ca and have been practicing for four years.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
This approach emphasizes understanding a client's cultural background—recognizing that cultural values, traditions, and social contexts significantly influence their personal and relational experiences. In practice, Spicers’ experience means tailoring interventions to honor each client's unique cultural identity, ensuring that therapy respects and addresses their specific cultural challenges and strengths.
Humanistic
Humanistic therapy focuses on self-actualization, personal growth, and the belief that individuals have the innate capacity for healing. In my practice, this aligns with my approach by emphasizing empowerment, self-awareness, and emotional healing. I integrate humanistic principles by creating a safe, client-centered space where individuals explore their emotions without judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has helped shape my approach to helping clients by emphasizing the importance of identifying and reshaping negative thought patterns. In my work, I have observed that by challenging and reframing these thoughts, individuals could achieve more balanced emotional responses and healthier behaviors.
