Areas of Interest

Alicia enjoys working with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, single-incident or complex trauma, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, workplace issues, body image concerns, eating disorders, addiction or problematic substance use, anger, identity-related issues, and concerns related to sexual behaviour or sexuality (including concerns about pornography use). She also has a particular interest in the psychological challenges that can accompany chronic illness, disease, or disability.

Alicia is attentive to the ways gender can shape mental health outcomes for both men and women. She works with people of all genders, sexual orientations, and sex characteristics, including intersex people, and is experienced in providing therapeutic support to those in the transgender community.

Alicia works with people over the age of 18 and has worked extensively with adults at different stages of life, including young adults, older adults, and those in midlife. While Alicia does offer support for relationship difficulties, her work focuses on individuals and she does not provide couples therapy.

Background

Alicia began her career in mental health in 2016, working in the domestic and family violence sector. She has since worked across community, university, and public health settings before entering private practice. She is currently completing her clinical psychology registrar program.
