Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Alice, a Marriage and Family Therapist, licensed for over 15 years. A personal belief that I have is, everyone has something valuable to offer, and with unconditional empathy, compassion, and therapeutic guidance a person's fullest happiest potential can be achieved.

First and foremost, I ask what the client wants, and what's the best fit for you (the client). Then after assessment, we both figure out a path to pursue, to help improve your quality of life.

My approach to therapy

My goals for you

Every person is very different, therefore there is no formula for any situation. First, I will get to know you, and the challenges that you are facing. I will work to understand them, the presenting/underlying issues, and your desired goals for therapy. Then, we will create a treatment plan that’s built to work well for what you want to achieve and where you want to be.

What you can expect from me

My first session with you

A place to be heard, a place to feel safe, and already a sense of relief after sharing what's on your mind and heart.

My communication style

I am very calm, a good listener, focused on your needs. My goal is to build rapport and a strong therapeutic relationship that has a foundation of trust and unconditional support. I will ask for feedback, to make sure you are comfortable, and therapy is helpful. We will work together towards your desired journey and outcome.
