About Alice
Before joining Taproot, Alice practiced psychotherapy privately for a decade, creating inclusive space for depth work in attachment, trauma healing, dissociative disorders, transitions and exploration in gender, sexuality, and relationship dynamics. Alice offers a creative and intuitive approach to trauma-informed care with emphasis on attachment and somatic and spiritual energy work.
Alice believes that practitioners can only heal and awaken patients as deeply as the practitioner has healed and become aware of themselves. For this reason her practice, like her personal healing journey, integrates ancient wisdom and spiritual traditions with modern neuroscience and brain based medicine for trauma. Alice’s own experience of complex trauma and abuse staged a fundamentally life-changing expansion in her consciousness. Her awakening challenged the foundation of her conventional education and training, making her aware of the limitations of purely ego based cognitive and hierarchical medicine. Alice integrates techniques from philosophical, spiritual, and mystical traditions that make room for truths beyond language and the conscious mind.
Alice followed early life callings as a healer and seeker, earning Bachelor’s and Master’s (CPCE) degrees in Psychology from the University of Colorado and later, dual licensure in Alabama in professional counseling (LPC) and couple and family therapy (LMFT). Her formative experience in the field included work with juvenile diversion programs, inpatient hospital counseling, and university and community counseling.
Alice’s approach provides unique support for those experiencing a spiritual awakening, as well as spiritual or emotional numbness, and trauma from religious abuse. Work with Alice makes room for interested patients to pursue vibrational growth, explore repressed parts of psyche, restructuring of personal narratives around identity and relationships and synthesis of fragmented parts of self. Alice’s approach addresses not just the symptoms trauma causes but the lasting withering effect that trauma can have on our relationship with our physical, spiritual, and emotional body in addition to our mind.
