Nice to meet you

Hello, I'm Alice.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s complex transitions. My career has spanned more than two decades in diverse environments—including hospitals, community mental health, digital health platforms, higher education, Big Tech, and Fortune 500 companies. Beyond my clinical practice, I am an adjunct professor at Boston College, where I educate and mentor the next generation of clinicians.

How I Work

Philosophy & Focus

As a Taiwanese American, I deeply understand that your cultural background, family values, and personal history are not just 'part' of your story; they are the core of your unique experience. I hold space for your full identity, ensuring that our work together honors every facet of who you are.

Drawing on my professional expertise and lived experiences, I bring a blend of warmth, empathy, and practical insight to our sessions. I bridge the gap between evidence-based practice and culturally responsive care tailored specifically to your values and individual needs.

As a psychology informed coach, I utilize the Transitional Intelligence (TQ) framework to help you navigate internal shifts by identifying your current stage of transition and building the skills to manage it.

In addition to coaching, I maintain a clinical practice and provide counseling services. My approach is strengths based and integrates evidence based approaches. I address the following areas:

Anxiety & Depression
Stress Management
Grief

Spirituality

Therapeutic Approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Personal Life

Beyond the Office

When I'm not working, I'm always looking to learn, try new things, and stay curious. You might find me capturing what catches my eye with my iPhone, or diving into a book or topic that has caught my attention. I love to travel and enjoy the challenge of travel hacking to find the best deals. I also value connecting with friends and finding communities to engage in meaningful conversation and fun. Above all, my favorite times are those spent with my husband and our three adult children playing and doing nothing. Oh, and fun fact — the photos on this site are my own, taken during my adventures and quiet moments.
