Hi! I’m Alicia
I’ve always had a passion for people, their stories, and helping them reach their maximum potential. During my time as a therapist, I worked hands-on with families, couples, teens, and kids to dig deep within themselves and live better lives. I loved this work, but as fulfilling as it was, I 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 I relocated, first from Cleveland to Atlanta, then Atlanta to Philadelphia, I decided to make a change.
I decided to use my mental health training and experiences to impact lives on a much broader scale. It’s what I do now as a mental health writer. I use my expertise in communication, authenticity, and motivation to help those who might not have access to a traditional mental health provider. My work bridges the gap between those in the wellness space and clients to educate, build trust, and change lives.
When working with me, you can expect open dialogue, clear communication, and straight shooting. The more genuine and direct our communication is, the better product we put out for the consumer. It’s that simple. I care deeply about meeting deadlines, incorporating feedback, enhancing searchability and reach through SEO, and utilizing the power of words. My work often translates the cerebral and academic material used in the psychology field, making it effortlessly readable and easily digestible for a layperson audience.
I write about personal development, self-help, psychology, mental health, leadership, and communication. I’ve written blogs, scripts, IG posts, website pages, newsletters, books, and mental health sales copy. I’ve worked on topics including relationships, sexuality, workplace attitudes, addiction, and personal enlightenment. All of that is to say that I am endlessly curious, broadly experienced, and would love to hear your thoughts on a new project!
In my free time, I’m an avid movie reviewer, aspiring painter, and total foodie. If you think we might be a great fit, awesome! Let’s get started!
