Hi, I’m Alice.
You can read all about my experience, qualifications, and trainings below, but first, a bit about me…
My pronouns are “she/her.” I'm a dog-obsessor, nerd for flowers, and avid audiobook & podcast listener. I’m originally from Virginia, but have lived in the mountains of North Carolina since 2008. It’s also probably helpful for you to know that I can’t help but drop the “f-bomb” at least once a minute (sorry/not sorry).
If I could manufacture my life to only surround myself with smart, sassy women, I’d be a happy camper.
I know what it’s like to feel like a powerless passenger on the rollercoaster of life. I spent much of my own teenage and young adult years feeling like I didn’t quite know how to truly belong, feeling like life kept throwing challenge after challenge in my face, and never quite feeling fully okay. I flip-flopped between being nauseatingly people-pleasing and putting on an offensively guarded and inconsiderate front.
What I needed most back then was a compassionate listener. Someone who wouldn’t judge me… but also someone who would be straight up with me when I needed to hear the truth. The good news is that I get to be that for you.
I’ve been working with young women since 2011 in a bunch of different settings— high schools, college counseling centers, outdoor residential programs, and online. I’ve learned a lot over the years about how to help others as they struggle, succeed, and move into becoming the person they’ve always wanted to be…
The reality: being a human is fucking hard. Anyone who says it’s not is lying.
Let’s work together to make life feel a bit easier.
