A Colorado native, Alicia earned her masters degree in counseling at Naropa University. While pursuing her degree, she worked as a preschool teacher. Being simultaneously immersed in the worlds of counseling and childhood development was an immensely fulfilling experience, leading Alicia to pursue Play Therapy, a modality that blends these lifelong interests. Alicia has clinical experience as a therapist at Mount Saint Vincent Home in Denver, a trauma-focused residential facility for children. In her extensive experience working with children and families, play has consistently proven to be an effective and natural method of communication, authentic expression, and healing.

I work with individuals and couples, using Internal Family Systems modality, Gestalt, Cognitive-Behavioral, and some somatic techniques. I especially enjoy working with couples dealing with intimacy/sexual issues and individuals dealing with life transitions/career issues and/or relationship problems. All referrals appreciated. Free 20-minute initial consultation offered.

I specialize in working with older adults, caregivers and individuals experiencing transition. I also enjoy working with individuals exploring what values and lifestyle choices are right for them, especi if those choices are different from the values they were taught in childhood or the values their loved ones hold.ave worked in several settings, with many different issues and populations. However, all of these settings have one thing in common - they are focused on brief interventions. I believe clients can make the changes they want, often in brief time frame. I am here to facilitate that process in an efficient way so you can get the most out of each session. I am a proponent of strengths-based therapy wrapped in a cognitive behavioral approach with elements of Gestalt techniques.
