We all begin the therapeutic journey with our own set of strengths and needs. Sometimes our uniqueness promotes creativity, new perspectives, and collaboration. Other times our uniqueness can be terminal; leading to emptiness, feeling disconnected from self and others, and beliefs that mental health treatment may work for other people, but it won’t work for you. Therapy is not about “getting over” events and issues; it’s about understanding your triggers and learning how to manage your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors so that you can move forward and continue to build a fulfilling life.
My clients often turn to substance use, negative self-talk, avoidance, and impulsivity to deal with intense emotions and they spiral from there. I specialize in using DBT, CBT, and IFS modalities to help adults (and some teens) struggling with substance use, personality disorders, self-harm/suicidal thoughts, emotional outbursts, and other behavioral issues.
I strive to help my clients develop insight, get out of “analysis paralysis” and take action. If you’re struggling with managing your emotions or communicating effectively let me be your guide you towards healthy coping. I aim to empower my client to trust their inner wisdom as we work towards achieving your personal goals.

It's easy to tell that Ilicia's the real deal within moments of meeting her. Her clinical training and personality together create the perfect synthesis for working with the chaos and challenge that can come with living with personality disorders and SUDs.
