LPC, 13 years of experience
As a licensed professional counselor with 15 years of diverse experience in the mental health field, I am passionately committed to supporting individuals from all walks of life. Known for my caring demeanor, effectiveness, and personable approach, I provide tailored therapeutic interventions to help clients navigate life's challenges. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or relationship issues, I create a safe and supportive space for healing and growth. With me, clients find understanding, guidance, and empowerment on their journey towards mental wellness.
The first session is a pivotal step towards fostering change and healing for those seeking support. As I guide individuals through this initial encounter, my primary aim is to create a safe and welcoming space, establishing trust and rapport from the outset. I approach the first meeting with genuine empathy, eager to understand the unique experiences and challenges that have led them to seek counseling. In those initial moments, I focus on building a therapeutic alliance, actively listening to their story, concerns, and goals. I encourage open dialogue, assuring them that this space is judgment-free and provides an opportunity for authentic self-expression. Together, we set the tone for a partnership built on trust, transparency, and shared objectives. Assessment becomes a key component during this first session as I work to gain a comprehensive understanding of their history, current circumstances, and emotional well-being. Employing a person-centered approach, I tailor my interventions to their needs, ensuring a holistic understanding of their unique context. In this foundational session, we discuss the therapeutic process, clarify expectations, and establish personalized goals for the journey ahead. I introduce various therapeutic modalities and techniques that may be employed to address their specific concerns, fostering a sense of empowerment and agency in the healing process. As the first session concludes, there is a shared sense of hope and the realization that they are not alone in their struggles. This initial encounter marks the beginning of our collaborative effort towards positive change, with the understanding that the therapeutic relationship serves as a catalyst for growth, self-discovery, and lasting healing.
My strengths as a therapist lie in my energetic and compassionate approach, complemented by a healthy sense of humor and an effective, eclectic methodology. These qualities work in harmony to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered on their journey towards positive change and personal growth.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I specialize in providing support and guidance to teens and adults who find themselves grappling with the complexities of life's transitions or confronting painful trauma. My expertise lies in creating a safe and empathetic space for individuals navigating through significant life changes, offering a helping hand to those facing the challenges that transitions can bring.
In our sessions, I draw upon a multi-disciplinary and eclectic set of therapeutic techniques, weaving together various modalities to create a customized and comprehensive approach to address your needs. With a person-centered foundation, my focus is on building a genuine and empathetic connection with you, fostering an environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood.
Sessions with me are characterized by a safe and nurturing environment where you are encouraged to share your experiences at your own pace. I work with clients to identify and explore the negative emotions and pain associated with their traumatic experiences, fostering a sense of self-awareness and self-compassion. Whether working with children who have experienced adverse childhood events, teens navigating the complexities of adolescence, young adults facing transitional challenges, or the elderly dealing with the cumulative effects of a lifetime, my trauma-informed care approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.

Working with my Alycia has been incredibly grounding and transformative. Her honesty, paired with the space she gives me to reflect, has helped me process deeply while also focusing on solutions. Through our sessions, I’ve been inspired to reevaluate my habits and boundaries, leading to more meaningful connections with others and a stronger relationship with myself. I’m truly grateful for her thoughtful, honest, and growth-focused approach.
