Trauma Therapy & Teen Counseling
For hyper-independent misfits who are ready to LET GO of everyone else’s “too much” and “not good enough”
And BECOME their confident, true, authentic selves
Online in Connecticut & Virginia
When clients first come in, they are overwhelmed, confused and (if they dare) FURIOUS.
The relationships that they thought were picture perfect are crumbling.
They have been ON for so long: straddling the expectations of their families, cultures, and relationships. They have been taking care of everyone else. Trying to be perfect for everyone else. Worried about being “good enough” for everyone else.
Through it all, they have found themselves shrinking. And on the inside? They are exhausted and ready to SCREAM.
But they have also had enough. And so have you.
If you are ready to shed fear and feeling stuck and, instead, heal your past and lean into your full self, I would love to help you get there.
My clients struggle like you do.
Despite being caring, empathetic, and investing energy into their relationships, they feel isolated, empty and unimportant.
You deserve to feel joy, worth, and connection.
Hi, I’m Alice!
I grew up in a bilingual and multigenerational household as a child of Bosnian immigrants—tethered between worlds.
I believe that trauma therapy & teen counseling allow for radical hope and audacious possibility.
Right now, you feel like no matter how hard you work and how hard you try, it’s never enough. You just want that one person to care enough.
See you enough. Be proud of you enough.
I get it.
I know you are exhausted. And confused. It’s hard to trust yourself sometimes. It’s hard to trust other people sometimes too.
You grew up too fast. You are always taking care of someone else’s needs. You keep wondering how you are constantly the emotional caregiver in every relationship. And you are getting tired and burnt out.
Isn’t it time to take care of you too?
I believe that trauma therapy and teen counseling offer a space to develop safety, empowerment, to feel seen, to learn how to love and nurture yourself, and to learn when enough is enough so that moments of visibility in the world can feel tolerable, even enjoyable, and not so…unbearable. This is a space to be witnessed, so that the parts of you that have been hiding can heal and emerge as your true, authentic self.
What happens when you start to heal those wounds?
You feel worthy
Shed the role of the caregiving people pleaser and be your fullest self instead
You can both offer and receive help and compassion
You can say yes and no without fear of repercussions
Making a mistake does not trap you in fear
That mean, critical, shaming voice in your head? It doesn’t have as much power over you
You experience more delight and patience with yourself and others
Dismantle generational cycles of pain and honor generational gifts
Stop existing for others and exist with others instead
Through a relational and IFS-based approach, I will walk with you and hold space for you through your greatest joys and deepest sorrows. I will invite curiosity in our co-created space and I will call you on your stuff with gentle compassion.
