Hi there, I'm Ali!

First, thank you for taking the time to get here! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). Therapy can be overwhelming, and my role is to help slow things down, walk through whatever has landed us together, and ideally help achieve a more manageable baseline. I would describe my approach as collaborative and flexible.

My focus

I work with a range of individuals facing mental health and relationship challenges to seek personal growth. Together, we explore patterns, build healthier coping strategies, and create space for authentic communication that supports your growth and well-being.

My approach

My approach is definitely flexible and transparent. I'm here for you, and your time is what is most valuable. My approach reflects this in the sense that I do not have hidden agendas. I'm here to help you figure out whatever it is that has you seeking a therapist. I believe therapy is not a one-size-fits-all.
