Welcome

This is your flight stress response. It developed to help you escape danger earlier in your life.

~ Hello, I'm Alicia ~
With over 25 years of experience, I am an expert in treating trauma. I help adults who are struggling with depression, anxiety, panic attacks, dissociation, and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). I use highly effective, evidence-based therapies to clear the root causes of your symptoms. These cutting edge, brain-based therapies are the fastest, most complete way to heal in depth!
Think of it like this: do you get rid of weeds if you only cut what’s above ground? No, you must pull out the root to keep the weed from growing back. It’s the same principle when healing from trauma.
~ The longest distance is from your brain to your heart ~
You’ve probably tried talk therapy at some point but stopped out of frustration or lack of progress. You can understand intellectually that you are not at fault. However, in your heart, you still feel responsible and ashamed. That’s why talk therapy alone doesn’t work.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I will work with you to customize treatment to meet your needs. I also use Brainspotting and Emotional Parts Work to speed your healing. I will teach you a range of resources that will calm your brain and nervous system. The best part is you don’t have to talk about your traumas in depth to heal!
Imagine your life feeling grounded, connected, peaceful, and happy.
I am a LGBTQI+ affirming therapist.
