What if you made more room for yourself?

If the thought of answering that question feels overwhelming, you don't have to figure it out alone. I help women explore the patterns, relationships, expectations, and experiences that have shaped who they are—and begin creating more room for who they're becoming.

Hi, I’m Alicia.

I’m at licensed therapist in Portland, Oregon and I'm here to help you explore what happens when you begin making room for yourself.

Maybe you've spent a long time making room for everyone else.

For their needs. Their expectations. Their feelings. Their opinions of you.

Maybe you've learned to be the responsible one, the accommodating one, the one who keeps the peace—or to make yourself smaller when taking up space doesn't feel safe.

And somewhere along the way, there may not have been much room left for you.

Therapy with me is a space to slow down and get curious about the patterns you've developed, the relationships that shape you, and the parts of yourself that may have been overlooked along the way. Together, we can explore not only what isn't working, but what you actually want to create in its place.

You might be here because...

  • Relationships
    You want deeper, more authentic relationships—but don't want to lose yourself in them.

  • Identity
    You feel there is more to you than the version you've been showing the world.

  • Transitions
    You're navigating a transition and wondering who you're becoming.

  • Self-worth/boundaries
    You're tired of people-pleasing, overthinking, or second-guessing yourself.

  • Deeper exploration
    You're curious about parts of yourself you've never really had the space to explore.

  • Family patterns
    You keep finding yourself in familiar relationship patterns, and you're ready to understand what's underneath them.

How I can help

I work with women navigating:

Relationships & boundaries
Learning to communicate your needs, create healthier boundaries, and stay connected to yourself in relationships.

Identity & self-worth
Exploring who you are beneath expectations, roles, perfectionism, and the versions of yourself you've learned to perform.

Life transitions
Making sense of periods of change—relationships, motherhood, career shifts, loss, or simply realizing that the life you're living doesn't quite fit anymore.

Patterns & personal growth
Moving beyond insight into meaningful change, with curiosity about the experiences and relationships that shaped you.

Maybe it's time to make a little more room for yourself.

You don't need to know exactly what you want to change before reaching out.
You don't need to have the right words. We can start where you’re at.
