My Philosophy
I value connection and creating space to listen, learn and mindfully breakdown barriers. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to talk about what’s important to you. I will support you to explore things getting in your way, identify steps towards change, as well as learn and practice new skills. We will work to create opportunities that may improve quality of life, overall functioning, and coping. Navigating changes in one’s life can bring unexpected challenges. I will work with you to make that process feel less scary and lonely. ​​
“Thank you for your kind and clarifying feedback."
"Licia is the connective conduit who keeps us all in communication as a team. Her joint background as a care manager and therapist give her unique nimbleness and ability to be at once practical, perceptive and caring. Working with Licia has made life more manageable for my sister and I in supporting our parents from afar. She rolls with our quirks, joins us when we’re in the weeds, and helps us think ahead. We are very grateful for Licia’s partnership!"
​
"Licia explained in great detail each and every step. She was extremely well informed and communicated throughout the entire process. Literally, all the heavy lifting that we otherwise would have done if we had tried to do this on our own.
​
Everyone that she brought on board were highly professional and extremely sympathetic to what our family was going through. Everything that could have been a concern was addressed by her as best as anyone could expect.
Going through the process is extremely tough emotionally, but Licia went above and beyond any reasonable expectation to address the emotional concerns as well, before, and after to console members of my family, which was greatly appreciated."
