About Alicia

Onboarding Coordinator

I believe your cultural experience matters!

You turn on the T.V. or engage with social media and can’t find healthy representations of your culture, or role models for your children that reflect your real experience.

Maybe the national conversation has veered horrendously away from the real concerns of your life, or worse, seems to be directed at vilifying your ethnic group in particular. Like you don’t have enough on your plate to deal with!

The nagging thoughts that makes you think “I’m not enough” combined with feelings of despair, hopelessness, and fear have kept you awake at night much longer than you care to admit. Your worried that you’re best is not good enough and your failing yourself, your children, family, and boss.

You tell yourself that you’ve crossed every “T” and dotted all of your “I’s” but you are simply frustrated and tired. Please help me, you tell yourself silently because you afraid to let anyone know that you are drowning in your own pain.

So, Talk with someone who just gets it!

I won’t pretend to know the specifics of your life or have all of the answers, but I do know what it is like to be a professional, a Latina, and a Spanish speaking woman, pursuing love and happiness in a world that is not always affirming.

You need to rally a support network. You need to create the structures of stability and community in your life that will provide you a safety net and accurately reflect your experience.

An authentic therapy practice is the foundation that will create that in your life.

An authentic therapy practice won’t shy away from Real Issues.

Real Issues are traumas that go back generations and haunt your waking moments. They are societal pressures that reinforce your negative self-image, hijacking the potential of your present and the possibilities of your future.

Real Issues cause you to think that you are a horrible child, a bad parent, a worthless spouse, or a lazy employee. Real Issues make it impossible to manage your feisty child or moody teenager. Real issues make you wallow in self-doubt, fear, shame, and sadness.

As we work together, you’ll soon discover that you don’t have to sensor yourself during our sessions. I will encourage you to talk about Real Issues. You will open them up. We will dismantle them. We will process them, and we will set you free.

Start creating your vision for tomorrow, today.

Forge a path to a better future for yourself and your family. Get ahold of the resources you need to achieve your goals.
