You’re here because

Life looks good from the outside, but you’re tired and hurting inside.

You are anxious, disconnected and generally feel like shit. You want to feel better, but haven't been able to crack the code on your own. The self help books and podcasts have only gotten you so far. It would be nice to feel calm, confident, and be present with yourself and your loved ones, but figuring how to do it has left you exhausted. It’s like groundhog’s day - every day.

You remember feeling good in the past, but don’t know how to get there again or even who that person is anymore.

You want to feel better, but feel stressed/anxious, maybe even lonely. You want better relationships, but the way you feel is preventing you from thinking clearly and communicating the way you’d like.

You may have high expectations of yourself, but you lack confidence regardless of your accomplishments.
You tend to worry too much and overthink to the point where it gets in the way of you actually resolving any issues.
You have a feeling your upbringing may still impact you, but you aren’t sure how (or you are and feel ready to dig into it).
You numb via booze/drugs, shopping, endless scrolling, food or other vices.

The fact you are here is and proof that a part of you believes you can and deserve to feel better. I can help you get there.

Hi. I’m Alice.

I take a no-BS approach to therapy, always coming from a place of kind compassion.

I’m so happy you are here! Helping people like you get to a place they can feel better is my passion. Seriously. I did a lot of my own therapy in my 20’s and 30s and found it so profound, I decided to leave my successful corporate career to become a therapist.

I bring a practical and straightforward approach to counseling. I’m comfortable with the uncomfortable and want you to bring the hardest parts of your life and past into our work. I really enjoy working with people who are motivated to gain insight and are open-minded. Those are the folks who often see the most progress from our work together.
