A little about me...
Hi - I'm Alicia!
​
Born and raised in the South Bay of Los Angeles, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at UC Santa Barbara and spent some time working in different HR and Admin roles before returning to grad school. Eventually, my passion for psychology took me to Pepperdine University where I completed my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.
​
While completing my practicum, I trained at The LGBTQ Center OC where I gained specialized experience with LGBTQ-affirming care, trauma-informed care, gender identity issues, monogamous and non-monogamous couples issues, and
co-facilitated the weekly Women's Group.
I take pride in working with first-generation college students/alumni, relating to many of their struggles first-hand from my own experience. I also especially enjoy helping adults learn to better manage severe anxiety and assist them with managing unbalanced relationships in their lives.
​
When I'm not working with clients I love to travel, go to a Dodgers game, get lost in an excellent novel or Netflix binge, or just relax at home with my spouse
and our basset hound, Bruno.

About
Guerrero Mental Health
What is a "Guerrero"?
Besides being a state in Mexico as well as my namesake, "Guerrero" also translates to "warrior" in English.
​
I believe each of us are mental health warriors in our own lives and realize how often we're waging internal wars that
no one knows about.
​
Even the strongest warriors sometimes need assistance in order to keep fighting, and that's where I would love to help.
