My approach

My work goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help you resolve the root of the issue rather than just cope. My advanced postgraduate training in experiential, trauma-informed approaches focuses on resolving issues on an emotional level, not just understanding them intellectually. Clients who engage in this work often experience meaningful, lasting shifts.

  • Ali provides therapy for college students looking to resolve issues with anxiety, depression, confidence, ADHD, burn-out, identity and relationships. College is a multifaceted time, often marked by both high highs and low lows. Having a trusted supporter like Ali alongside you can help you navigate these experiences and turn your college years into a time of growth, joy, and meaningful success.

  • Ali provides therapy for those looking to protect their mental health while working in demanding and high performing career fields. Ali has helped physicians, pharmacists, medical professionals, engineers, higher education professionals, executives, business professionals, entrepreneurs and more. Many in this category are looking to resolve issues with anxiety, depression, confidence, burn-out, and relationships. Working in demanding fields all while trying to balance life, success and family can be tough. Having a trusted supporter like Ali alongside you can help you step into peace, balance, self-assuredness, confidence and joy.

  • Couples therapy is an important investment in your most meaningful relationship. Ali provides weekly therapy for couples who are stuck and are wanting more from their relationship. Couples therapy is designed to help you uncover the ways in which you may be blocking yourself (outside of your awareness) from experiencing the connection and emotional intimacy you want. You will have the opportunity to turn things around, stop hurting one another and enter into a joy-filled and supportive relationship. Ali has specialized training in couples therapy from the Couples Institute using the Developmental Model for Couples Therapy.

    Couples Intensives: Ali offers 1-3 day couples intensives to couples looking to do deep focused repair and intimacy building work. Couples intensives can feel like accomplishing 6 months of therapy in one few day period.

  • Ali’s training goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help you resolve the root causes of anxiety, depression, and relationship distress, not just learn how to cope. Ali works with clients to resolve past experiences & traumas (big or small) that continue to shape emotions, relationships, and patterns today. By addressing these wounds, therapy becomes a path toward lasting symptom relief, more secure attachment, and deeper, more satisfying relationships with yourself and others.

  • Living with anxiety can be hard and downright awful at times. Ali provides deep effective, counseling to help clients make significant shits out of anxiety and into confidence. Clients will have the opportunity to go beyond the surface to break long-standing anxious patterns on both an emotional and body level.
