hey! I’m your therapist, alicia
Find ease, clarity, and yourself.
I’m a Long Island-based therapist specializing in burnout, anxiety, trauma, and grief.
I want you to truly hear this:
Ignite joy, cultivate softness, and uncover deeper meaning in your everyday life.
I believe in doing therapy differently….
You’ve tried everything, but that quiet weight of stress and inner conflict remains. This is the last tool you haven't used: a truly authentic space designed for your unscripted truth. Forget stiff, formal sessions—I offer a real, flexible partnership where we explore meaningful insight, not generic advice. I’m here to stand with you in the mess, cultivate profound change, and finally get to the root of what truly matters to you.
real support from a therapist who gets it
I’m here to help you feel significantly lighter, deeply grounded, and undeniably empowered in your own skin…
I know what it feels like to be the one silently managing five group chats, coordinating the family, and still having to put on a "crushing it" smile at work. You're the one who keeps it all together and says 'yes' even when your insides scream 'NO.' As a high-functioning people-pleaser in recovery, I deeply understand the exhaustion of that pressure.
I offer truly transformative support designed to make you feel significantly lighter—like being able to say "no" without the spiral of guilt and undeniably empowered in your own skin. This isn't about perfectly curated Instagram lives; it's a judgment-free space where we pause the constant chase, find your breath, and profoundly reconnect with your authentic, evolving life.
Therapy with me is…
01 Honest
Let's be real: When you're facing anxiety or past pain, therapy shouldn't feel like a one-size-fits-all plan. I partner with you to honestly customize every step of the process, ensuring our work meets your unique journey—generic advice won't cut it
02 Trustworthy
Forget the stiff, perfect version of therapy—this space is built for authentic truth-telling, empowering pattern-breaking, and real connection. We beautifully do both here: we stand in the mess, and we laugh at the absurdity of it all, so genuine healing can finally take root.
03 Introspective
We're done with surface-level talk and generic strategies—you deserve more. This is a safe space to finally unpack the messy patterns and silent weight you've carried for too long. We make room for your full, complex, and real humanity and the profound, unscripted change you need.
04 Individualized
You've done the basic self-help; you know generic advice doesn't work. I don't use a script—I partner with you, blending real-life insight and clinical tools to meet your unique story exactly where you are, delivering the growth you actually need.
