As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience in Massachusetts and five years in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life's complex challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring compassionate expertise to issues like self-esteem, life transitions, communication struggles, and emotional healing.
My approach is deeply client-centered, addressing a wide range of concerns including workplace stress, midlife transitions, chronic health challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. I'm particularly skilled in supporting women's issues, caregiver stress, and helping individuals rediscover their sense of purpose and self-worth.
I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you're facing relationship challenges, managing stress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

Alice has been supportive, helpful and provided creative solutions that are out of the box to fit my specific healing path. What I love is I can message her any day or time and she always gets back to me. She puts lots of effort and time into messages and video chats. She’s very positive and upbeat and cheers me on. I really value her advice. Thanks Alice.

Going into therapy I was unsure of what to expect and was admittedly rather nervous before my first session. Alice immediately made me feel comfortable and really lets me take the conversation in whatever direction I want it to go in. I’m very appreciative of her and look forward to continuing meeting with her regularly.
