My approach to therapy is about exploring these dreams with curiosity and gratitude, helping you weave your past into a narrative that empowers your future. I view therapy as a collaborative journey of self-discovery and acceptance. Together we explore the tapestry of your experiences, both the fulfilled and the unfulfilled dreams, to uncover the wisdom they hold. I work with you to reframe setbacks as meaningful lessons and to transform old narratives into a source of empowerment for your future.

Most men aren’t interested in therapy. Why? Because they believe it won’t help them get what they want—and they’re not wrong.
Traditional therapy, self-help books, and wellness programs are often designed with women in mind. There’s nothing inherently wrong with that. Women are, after all, the primary consumers of these services & products. And women account for 75% of the professional counselors offering care.
And that leaves a gap.
We talk a lot about reducing the stigma of mental health care for men, however, we’re placing the emphasis on the wrong syllable. The real challenge isn’t just stigma—it’s relevance.
To truly reach men, we need to make therapy appealing by focusing on what they care about: improving performance, managing stress, repairing relationships, regaining control, and solving real-life problems.
As a male therapist, I get it. I design my counseling approach to speak directly to the needs of male clients—whether they're seeking individual therapy or looking for a male perspective in couples work.
No fluff. Just results, practical insight, and straight talk along with humor and understanding from a guy who calls himself a Frequent Flyer to Hell and Back.

Hi there! My name is Alicia, and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. I earned my Master's degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in 2012 and have been practicing in community-based outpatient settings for most of my career. I enjoy helping younger and older adults who may be struggling with a variety of disorders, including depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions (among others). I am focused on helping clients address these challenges in a way that supports their individual needs and personal growth. I believe my ability to connect with people, my genuine and lighthearted approach, and my deep understanding of how life's curveballs can sometimes throw us off of our game are what make me versatile as a clinician.
