Alice comes from a family of healers which drove her passion to join a helping profession. Alice’s grandmother used faith and traditional herbs to heal people and Alice truly enjoyed and appreciated people getting well at the touch of her grandmother’s hands. This experience influenced Alice’s passion for working with people and making a difference one person at a time.

Alice's professional mission is to help individuals make sense of their symptoms and life experiences, and to heal and transform the imprint life experiences have made on the mind, brain, and body. Alice is driven to discover the root of a person’s psychological distress and work collaboratively with the individual to tackle and find solutions to the identified problem. Alice's strength-based approach to psychotherapy sees people’s strengths even in moments they think they do not have any when stressed and overwhelmed with life circumstances. She taps into your inner resilience/resources to walk with you in your journey of healing.

Message to clients

The spirit of Ubuntu says, “I am because you are.” We are all valuable human beings no matter who you are, whatever you are going through in life or what you are seeking to achieve in life. Here in my therapy room, you will be seen, you will be heard, you will be believed, and you will be empowered to overcome the struggles that get in the way of your happiness, and self-actualization. We will work together to achieve that which is deeply satisfying to you and truly expresses who you are untethered, for that is true healing. I deploy empathy, compassion, active listening and goal driven to empower you to bring forth your inner strength. I gently nudge you to access the center of your vulnerability and turn it into strength to overcome life's pain, self-doubt, hopelessness, and hurt. As I work with you, I use Carl Rogers wisdom and approach to therapy, "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their own personal growth."
