Alicia used to be a therapist where she worked hands-on with families, couples, teens, and kids to dig deep within themselves and live better lives. She loved her work, but as fulfilling as it was, could never seem to do enough. Just as one kid would graduate from therapy, there’d be another one right in his place, more confused and heartbroken than the last. It was tough.

As she relocated, first from Cleveland to Philadelphia, she decided to make a change and use her mental health training and experiences to impact lives on a much broader scale, which is what she does now as a wellness writer. Alicia uses her expertise to help those who might not have access to a traditional mental health provider or coach. In her free time, she’s an avid movie reviewer, aspiring painter, and total foodie.
