Meet Ali

I help those feeling stuck in patterns of self-criticism and anxiety reconnect with their authentic selves, heal past wounds, shift limiting beliefs, and cultivate a life that aligns with who they truly are. Together, we work towards approaching life with clarity, self-compassion, and confidence.

Ali, licensed mental health counselor

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor passionate about helping individuals navigate anxiety, self-criticism & doubt, emotional overwhelm, and disconnection—both from others and from themselves. I specialize in working with those who are struggling with limiting beliefs, such as feeling “not good enough,” especially when these beliefs stem from difficult childhood experiences.

My own journey wasn’t always easy, and I understand the challenges that come with feeling disconnected from your emotions and others. Growing up, I struggled with repressing my feelings, which created distance between me and those around me. I used unhealthy coping skills to push people further away. Over time, this emotional disconnection manifested as anxiety—though I didn’t have a name for it back then. That anxiety quietly followed me into adulthood, shaping how I related to the world and to myself. It wasn’t until I began to work through my childhood wounds and reconnect with who I truly wanted to be that I realized how powerful healing can be. That experience is what led me to become a therapist—with the hope of creating a safe, supportive space for others to do the same: to heal, grow, and become even more than they ever thought possible.

I believe therapy should be a place where you can be exactly who you are, wherever you are in your journey. Whether you’re facing anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or self-worth challenges, I am here to support you in understanding and breaking free from the patterns that hold you back. Together, we will explore what is standing in your way and work toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

Outside of therapy, I’m a mom of twins, and fitness is a big outlet for me, both for my mental well-being and for the community I’ve found at the gym. I love spending time with my family, enjoying a date night with my husband, trying new foods, and traveling when I can (though it’s a bit trickier now with kids!). I also continue to recover from my tendency to do too much, and I’m always seeking personal growth as I help others navigate their own journeys.

A comfortable space for online therapy sessions

my approach

Safe, collaborative, and flexible

I believe therapy should be a safe space where you can show up however you are, on any given day or in any moment. Whether you’re on your couch in your pajamas or taking a break at work, the beauty of online therapy is that you can be comfortable wherever you are. I’m flexible and will meet you where you are.

My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I work alongside you, using EMDR, parts work, and other evidence-based techniques to help you heal, break free from limiting beliefs, and grow. Together, we’ll explore your challenges, understand their roots, and develop strategies that empower you to create lasting change.
