About Alicia

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a full-time practice in Bend, Oregon.  I am passionate about the body’s innate wisdom, and capacity to heal and thrive under the right conditions.  I work with those suffering from depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, relationship conflicts, social challenges, grief/loss, chronic stress, and symptoms relating to unresolved trauma. I utilize methods such as Somatic Experiencing®, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Integral Somatic Psychology®, Gestalt, and mindfulness-based approaches to healing. I have my own meditation and movement practice, which greatly informs my process. I strive to welcome those from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, and all sexual orientations and gender identities.
