About My Clients

Hi, I'm Ali! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I provide individual therapy to adults (ages 18+) who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or grief. I also provide couples therapy for those seeking assistance with relational or attachment based issues. The path to healing can be a difficult one, but you are not alone. If given the opportunity, I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey!

My Background and Approach

I offer an individualized approach to therapy that is thoughtfully tailored to your unique needs and grounded in an authentic and trusting connection that honors your pace. Our work together is collaborative and respectful of your voice, choices, and feedback, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel fully accepted as you are. Through affirming, empowering care and evidence-based, trauma-informed, and solution-focused practices, I support you in discovering your strengths while also helping you build practical life skills. With a balance of warmth, structure, and gentle accountability, my goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am committed to providing an affirming, safe, and inclusive space that welcomes people of all identities, ensuring that all of my clients receive knowledgeable, respectful, and supportive care tailored to their unique life experiences. I love my job because I get to support individuals in learning to live a more genuine and satisfying life while also helping couples have more rewarding relationships with one another! I honestly find this work deeply meaningful and incredibly fulfilling!
