About Me

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I work with individuals, couples, and families on abuse, adoption, relationship issues, and cross-cultural challenges. I offer child diagnostic assessments, EMDR, play therapy, relationship counseling, personal development, and Ukraine aid.

Approach

Alicia practices from Attachment Theory, which means that the therapies used in treatment are attachment based and are designed to heal each family member's attachment wounds that are the root cause for hurt and reactivity in relationship. Healing of the attachment system is what allows married couples to regain lost trust, and allows adopted children to trust their new parents, and allows for children who have experienced trauma to return to healthy play and confidence knowing that they can trust the parent or significant adult who cares for them. Integration of the christian faith into the therapy process is also included for those who desire to increase their faith. It is wonderful how are brains were designed to be neuroplastic and so can heal at any age.
