I am licensed in Illinois with 15 years of professional work experience. My professional background includes providing psychiatric crisis work, animal assisted therapies, equine assisted psychotherapy, and therapeutic riding. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence, & depression. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It is my stance that the use of appropriately timed humor allows us to reduce the intensity of life's struggles. I also take a strengths based approach to empowering clients to tackle social, emotional, behavioral, family, biological, and mental health struggles. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Alisia is very comforting and relatable. She has a way of asking you questions that make you think and ask yourself more questions.

Ali is a fantastic listener. She always makes me feel heard and validates my feelings and experiences, while giving me tools to overcome my anxiety. I feel physically and mentally better since starting therapy with Ali!

Alisia is a wonderful therapist. She is always able to help me discover what things I need help with to help me deal with the issues I’ve begun therapy in the first place. She has made going to therapy easy- this coming from someone who grew up with it being a taboo subject.
