Hi! My name is Alivia, and I’m a Mental Health Counselor currently working toward licensure as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I primarily work with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood. I understand that individuals in these various stages of life often experience complex emotions, unanswered questions about who they are, and the weight of navigating a lot of change. I am passionate about meeting each person where they are, with compassion and curiosity, creating a welcoming space where they feel safe, valued, and empowered. I believe in each person’s capacity to grow, heal, and find clarity even when things feel overwhelming. Therapy with me is a collaborative process rooted in meaningful connection, emotional insight, and honoring each client’s unique story.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Narrative Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Grounded in trauma-informed care and cultural humility, I tailor each approach to meet the individual needs of every client. I have experience providing in-home therapeutic care to children, adolescents, young adults, and families as they faced a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, executive functioning difficulties, PTSD, relational and attachment issues, life transitions, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, and other concerns impacting their emotional and relational well-being.

I’ve earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in Child & Family Mental Health and Wellness from Boston College. I also hold my B.A. in Psychology with a concentration in Counseling Careers and a minor in Human Development and Family Studies from Kent State University. Beyond my work supporting clients, I find joy exploring new restaurants, binge watching TV shows, crafting, throwing pottery, and baking. I’d be honored to support you in your personal journey toward healing and growth!
