About

Alicia is a licensed therapist who specializes in helping individuals and couples break free from anxiety, emotional overwhelm, and unhealthy relationship patterns. She works with high-functioning adults who look successful on the outside but feel disconnected, exhausted, or stuck on the inside.
Her approach is trauma-informed, attachment-based, and deeply relational. Alicia helps clients understand the “why” behind their emotions and behaviors, regulate their nervous systems, and create healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Whether someone is struggling with past trauma, relationship stress, or chronic anxiety, depressive moods. she focuses on building safety, clarity, and emotional resilience so real change can happen.
Alicia is especially passionate about helping clients move from survival mode into a place of confidence, connection, and self-trust. She believes therapy should be both compassionate and practical—offering insight, tools, and a space where people feel genuinely seen and supported.
Who are you are best positioned to serve?
I am best positioned to serve those who are hight functioning on the outside but struggling internally. These are individuals or couples who look like they ‘have it together,’ yet feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old emotional patterns. Many of my clients deal with anxiety, relationship stress, attachment wounds, shame, or the impact of past/present trauma—even if they don’t always label it that way.
What areas you feel are your biggest strengths?
My biggest strengths as a therapist are helping people feel safe, understood, and emotionally grounded while we do meaningful work together. I am especially skilled at helping clients make sense of their emotional patterns—why they react the way they do, where those patterns came from, and how to change them in a way that feels sustainable rather than forced.
What's your favorite part about being a therapist?
My favorite part about being a therapist is watching people come back to themselves. I get to sit with someone in their hardest moments—when they feel lost, ashamed, or overwhelmed—and help them slowly reconnect to who they really are. Seeing a client go from ‘something is wrong with me’ to ‘I understand myself and I can change’ is incredibly powerful. I love being part of that turning point—when insight becomes confidence, when coping turns into clarity, and when someone realizes they don’t have to carry everything alone. That’s the moment I live for.”
What can clients expect?
Clients can expect to leave sessions with me feeling clearer, calmer, and more empowered. My goal is that you don’t just talk about your problems—you understand them. You’ll begin to see the patterns behind your emotions, reactions, and relationships, and learn how to shift them in ways that actually stick.
Why did you join Curis?
I was drawn to the collaborative model—where mental health is integrated with chiropractic care, functional medicine, and nervous-system regulation. That creates a powerful environment for clients who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted and want real, lasting change instead of just coping. For me, Curis is where therapy moves beyond talking and becomes full-body healing.
