Alicia has been so helpful in my journey. I live an alternative lifestyle and have ADHD. She has a way of digging right in and asking all the right questions to get me to focus on the important things. She is caring and compassionate, and has helped me navigate some of my particularly challenging situations without judgment. I highly recommend her!
