Taking the first step…

My education was in Transpersonal Psychology, a holistic school of psychotherapy taking into account such things as spirituality, body, mind, and emotion. This informs how I sit with a client. I am attuned to how you are sitting, breathing, and making eye contact. This school also embraces many things in addition to the talk therapy most people are familiar with. For example, I was trained in the Enneagram and Sand Play.

What does a session with me look like? We meet in person and my Humanistic approach requires me to be fully present with you–no note taking during a session! You are a client, not a patient, and you call me Alice because we are two humans connecting. I have done my own therapy with a licensed therapist, so I have first-hand knowledge of what it feels like to be vulnerable in this way and to embark on making changes in my own life.

Ultimately I take the lead from you–What are your goals? What are we working towards? By working together we can help relieve your anxiety, depression, and overwhelm, and bring more serenity into your life. We will build your sense of self worth using the Fight Your Bully techniques I have developed through years of clinical practice. We will also improve your communication to be kind, direct, and honest with yourself and others.
