ABOUT ALICIA

Hey, I’m Alicia — a Registered Clinical Counsellor who believes therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. I bring over 10 years of experience from community-based work into the counselling room, and I show up with a mix of clinical training, real-life perspective, and a deep respect for your story.

​

As a woman of colour, mother, partner, sibling and friend, I work from an anti-oppressive and harm reduction lens rooted in lived experience — not just textbooks. I know firsthand how culture, family dynamics, politics, and systems shape our mental health. I welcome all of it into the space. Whether you’re navigating grief, anxiety, rage, relationships, parenting, substance use, or simply feeling stuck.

​

I’m here to walk with you through the mess and the magic.

I support youth, adults, couples, and families, and I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. My style is relational, honest, and non-judgmental. I bring in evidence-based tools (like DBT, CBT, Gottman, EFFT), but also trust that you know yourself best. Together, we’ll figure out what actually works for you — not just what “should.”

​

I’ve worked alongside folks dealing with trauma, mood fluctuations, substance use, caregiving burnout, boundary struggles, and identity questions. I hold space for the tough stuff, but also for joy, creativity, humour, and resilience — because healing isn't linear and it's rarely quiet.

If you’re looking for a therapist who can hold complexity, honour your lived experience, and keep it real, let’s connect.
