Welcome. I’m Alice.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing somatic, polyvagal-informed, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy to adults throughout California.

Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, trauma, PTSD, chronic pain, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, identity exploration, or major life transitions. On the outside they may appear capable and high-functioning, yet internally feel overwhelmed, disconnected from their bodies, or caught in patterns that traditional talk therapy hasn’t fully resolved.

In a mind-centered world, we are often taught to analyze our experiences rather than feel them. Over time, this can lead to chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and a subtle loss of internal security —the felt sense that you are safe and anchored from the inside out.

Through an integration of somatic therapy and depth-oriented talk therapy, I support you in gently working with the nervous system and protective parts of the self so healing feels embodied, collaborative, and sustainable. Together, we work toward building internal security, strengthening self-trust, and creating more secure and authentic relationships. This is therapy that goes beyond symptom management–guiding you back into relationship with your body, your inner wisdom, and your life.
