She has worked across diverse environments including clients' homes, schools, workplaces, and office settings, bringing practical experience from roles such as Personal Care Assistant, Job Coach, Direct Service Professional, Mental Health Practitioner, and both inpatient and outpatient therapist positions.

Alice specializes in supporting people facing depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship conflicts, and life transitions, and she also has experience with bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, hoarding, grief and loss, and spiritual concerns. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused strategies, and she also integrates existential, multicultural, motivational interviewing, family systems, and other therapies as appropriate. In sessions she emphasizes understanding the many parts of a person's life and how they contribute to overall functioning, helping clients translate insight into practical weekly and long-term goals.

Alice believes the client is the expert on their own life and works collaboratively to set goals and choose interventions. She aims to foster hope, empathy, and a nonjudgmental atmosphere that supports growth. For scheduling, she offers video and phone sessions during evening hours and provides messaging and live chat availability during morning and afternoon sessions as well as other available times.
