Your relationship was made to heal from the inside out.
My approach to couples therapy
I specialize in helping millennial couples to overcome their barriers of anxiety, defensiveness, and past trauma impacts so they can feel connected, understood and uplifted by each other.
I use a comprehensive and highly individualized approach with each couple I work with to address relational issues head on. I will give you in-the-moment tools and strategies to improve communication and foster understanding while also creating opportunities to heal underlying root cause wounds. I will be there to help guide you both through the deeply difficult moments.
Hi, I’m Alicia
I’m a millennial couples therapist who gets it.
You’re not taught how to weather the difficult times in relationships. I’m here to walk you through the process.
I show up authentically as myself in each session I use my direct style of communication and a thick sense of East Coast humor to create a space that you and your partner will actually look forward to coming to.
I’ve seen first hand the power of couples therapy and I am genuinely curious about the dance you and your partner are in. I work collaboratively with you and your partner to set goals that are uniquely fitting to your relationship so you know every step of the way what it will look like to no longer need me.
Offering virtual and in-person services.
A hybrid model to meet your specific needs.
I work with anxious millennial couples across the state of Washington.
You’re busy people with lots going on. Virtual couples therapy allows you to:
cut out commuting time
get comfortable and cozy in your own space
schedule therapy around you and your kid’s needs
Maybe you’d prefer an in-person experience, I offer in-person couples therapy sessions in my office in downtown Bellingham, WA where you can
settle in to a neutral space
relax on my couch
leave couples therapy stuff at the door
You can even toggle between the two depending on your needs! The choice is yours.
