About Alice

Pronouns: She/ Her/ Hers

As a Licensed Social Worker, my practice is grounded in the recognition that individuals crave to be seen, valued, and heard and that genuine connection is fundamental to well-being. I am dedicated to providing expertise and insight while creating a space where others can thrive, though I always acknowledge that my clients are the true experts in their lives. My experience of becoming paralyzed has deeply informed my understanding of trauma, adapting to life's challenges, and the power of resilience. As a queer disabled therapist, I bring a unique perspective that embraces diverse identities and fosters an environment of inclusivity.

In my therapeutic approach, I integrate a range of modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have extensive experience working with adolescents across diverse settings such as residential placements, foster care systems, schools, and in-home services. Additionally, I have familiarity with supporting sexual assault survivors of all ages from the crisis stage directly following an assault to ongoing processing. I am committed to helping clients tap into their empowerment by exploring their experiences, past and present, to reach overall healing.

I acknowledge that finding the right therapist can be daunting and take both time and emotional energy. However, it is a crucial step in investing in your mental health and overall happiness. Together, we can work towards addressing your challenges and progressing you towards a more fulfilling life.
