Alicia is a passionate and empathetic clinical psychologist with a strong belief that the journey toward mental wellbeing is not a race to the finish line, but a long road filled with rest stops, learning curves, and quiet moments of growth. As she often says, “The journey towards mental health spans thousands of miles—you can’t complete it in a day, and you need fuel to keep going. I’ll be here for your pit stops.” This gentle and grounded philosophy is at the heart of her work with every client.

With four years of clinical experience, Alicia has worked across diverse settings, offering individual therapy, running workshops, and delivering talks to raise awareness around mental health. Her primary therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), both of which she uses to support clients in building practical, meaningful strategies for change.

Alicia has a special interest in ADHD, particularly in how it presents in adulthood, which is a population often misunderstood or overlooked. Growing up, she noticed the subtle but powerful differences in how behaviour was interpreted: boys being disruptive were often dismissed with a casual “boys will be boys,” while girls who struggled quietly were labelled as daydreamers or lazy. These early observations stayed with her and deeply shaped her drive to better understand the nuanced, often invisible experiences of people with ADHD.

She is especially passionate about exploring the cognitive aspects of ADHD; areas like working memory, focus, and emotional regulation, which are so often misunderstood or reduced to labels like “lazy,” “unmotivated,” or “careless.” Alicia works to reframe these narratives with compassion and science, helping her clients understand their minds, not blame them.

In her practice, Alicia creates a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported. Whether someone is newly diagnosed or has lived a lifetime feeling “different,” she meets them exactly where they are. Her hope is to continue walking alongside individuals navigating the complexities of ADHD, helping them reconnect with their strengths and redefine what thriving looks like for them.
