Because trauma is not always what you think it is..

Trauma "is not what happens to you; it is what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you"- Dr.Gabor Maté

YOU ARE WELCOME HERE

Alicia invites you to explore a practice of wellness & healing that goes way beyond traditional talk therapy.

 Have you found yourself  in therapy for many years and find that you are still struggling with the same issues from many years and beyond? Or are you finding yourself learning that things aren't working in your life but don't quite know what you would say to a therapist should you ask for help? In working with Alicia you would find that she utilizes a "bottom up approach". This means that she would guide you toward exploring what's showing up in your body in order to figure out what the protective patterns are that are holding you back. It could be a fight or flight response. Or a freeze. Our logic and thinking brain goes out the window when we feel frozen or super anxious or angry.  When that happens we lose access to doing the things that we "should" be doing to change. Alicia would guide you toward learning what exactly is happening that keeps you where you need to be in your life- by listening to what your body (the bottom) has to say.

"You gain STRENGTH COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE by every experience in which you really stop and look FEAR IN THE FACE. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing THAT COMES ALONG'."
