Team

I’m Alicia, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Washington, DC and Virginia. I’m also a Board Approved Supervisor in Maryland and Virginia, also supervise counselors in DC and am an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, and an AASECT-Certified Sex Therapy Supervisor.

With more than 17 years in the mental health field, I’ve been providing psychotherapy to adults, adolescents, and couples, I bring both breadth and depth of experience. My background includes work in behavioral health, domestic violence, crisis response, and private practice. Across these settings, I’ve remained guided by the same calling: to support people and relationships with curiosity, compassion, and understanding, even in moments of rupture or acute distress.

In therapy, I focus on creating a safe, collaborative space where you can begin to move toward healing, clarity, and growth. My process begins with thoughtful assessment and case conceptualization, helping us identify both the challenges and the strengths that shape your life. From there, I work with you to build treatment plans that are not only clinically sound but also meaningful and attainable.

I draw on a wide range of modalities, including EMDR, DBT, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, DNMS, CBT, mindfulness approaches, IFS, and Imago/Gottman-informed couples therapy. No matter the approach, my goal is to meet you with empathy and openness—honoring your lived experience while supporting you in reaching your goals.

As a Board-Approved Supervisor and consultant, I am deeply invested in supporting emerging and developing clinicians. I know that supervision is not just about case discussion—it’s about creating a relationship where safety, curiosity, and co-regulation allow real learning to happen.

I encourage transparency and honesty from supervisees, and I meet that openness with non judgment, empathy, and a commitment to ethical, clinically grounded exploration. Together, we’ll focus on assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning that go beyond surface-level symptom management. I aim to equip you with tools to think critically, apply specific modalities, and grow into a clinician who feels both competent and authentic in their work.

As a supervisor of color, I prioritize diversity, inclusion, and multicultural awareness in every consultation. We’ll not only explore client dynamics but also examine how privilege, marginalization, and identity shape the therapeutic process. My goal is to help you move toward independent practice with confidence, while embracing the reality that learning in this field is lifelong.

In addition to psychotherapy and supervision, I offer specialty consultation for clinicians pursuing EMDRIA Certification in EMDR Therapy and AASECT Certification in Sex Therapy. My consultation integrates expertise in trauma, sexual trauma, complex trauma, sexual concerns and dysfunction, and couples therapy, providing clinicians with a supportive and structured path toward certification.

I draw from over a decade of clinical experience and advanced training in EMDR, sex therapy, and integrative approaches to trauma and relational work. In consultation, we not only review cases and protocols but also explore how to conceptualize complex presentations, address ethical considerations, and apply interventions with confidence and clarity.

Whether you’re seeking consultation hours to meet certification requirements or looking to deepen your practice in these specialty areas, I provide a collaborative, trauma-informed space that balances clinical rigor with encouragement. My goal is to support you in becoming a more grounded, skilled, and effective therapist as you pursue professional growth and certification.

Outside of practice and supervision, I cherish time with my family, the beauty of nature and changing seasons, my husband’s cooking, and finding moments of peace in a chaotic world. I see myself as an entrepreneur with a compassionate heart, always seeking ways to combine clinical excellence with human connection.
