Healing Isn’t Just About Talking—It’s About Reclaiming Your Life
If you’ve served in the military, worked in law enforcement, or been part of any high-stress profession, you know that some experiences stay with you. Maybe it’s the nightmares that won’t fade, the moments of panic that come out of nowhere, or the struggle to connect with people who just don’t get it. You’re not weak, and you’re not broken—your mind and body are reacting exactly the way they were trained to. But that doesn’t mean you have to live like this forever.

Therapy That Goes Beyond the Surface
I’m Alicia, a Licensed Professional Counselor and EMDR-trained therapist with over 15 years of experience working with military personnel, veterans, law enforcement, and their families. I specialize in treating PTSD, Complex PTSD, and the long-term emotional impact of service-related trauma using evidence-based, whole-body approaches to healing.

Traditional therapy isn’t always enough—trauma isn’t just stored in your mind; it’s stored in your body. That’s why I take a holistic approach that combines:

- EMDR therapy to process trauma and reduce distressing memories
- Mind-body techniques that help regulate stress and emotional reactions
- Wellness strategies including movement, nutrition, and personalized coping tools
- A safe, judgment-free space where you can work through what’s weighing you down

This isn’t just about revisiting the past—it’s about building a future that feels worth living.

Why a Holistic Approach Works
You’ve trained your body to be tough, to endure, to push through. But that kind of conditioning can take a toll. The constant alertness, the tension, the exhaustion—it’s not just in your head. Trauma impacts your nervous system, your health, and your relationships. Healing means addressing all of it.

That’s why I combine EMDR with holistic strategies like exercise medicine, nutrition, and stress management techniques to support both your mental and physical well-being. Because you deserve more than just getting by—you deserve to thrive.

Who I Work With
I specialize in working with:

- Veterans transitioning to civilian life
- Active duty service members & first responders
- Individuals struggling with PTSD & Complex PTSD
- Those dealing with high-stress career burnout

Beyond the Therapy Room
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me staying active, exploring holistic wellness practices, and continuing to learn new ways to help people heal. I believe in the same mind-body balance I encourage my clients to build, because healing isn’t just about what happens in therapy—it’s about how you live every day.
