Transforming Your Life from THREAT to Thrive!
"We human beings have gotten it all wrong, we've thought success was us achieving.
When we are functioning as regulated beings we realize, Success is Connection!
Connection to ourselves, the world around us, and to others.
When we connect to our True Nature, holistically, embodied
we go from Threat to Thrive!"

About
Ali
For so much of my life, I carried the heavy belief that I was "worthless" or "unlovable"—wounds rooted in deep family trauma. It took time, courage, and the right support, but through EMDR and Somatic/Holistic Therapy, I found my way back to myself.
I began to feel again. To trust again. To reclaim my worth.
Now, as a Trauma Therapist specializing in PTSD, EMDR, and Somatic Holistic care, I support others walking through that same pain—whether it shows up as relationship anxiety, health anxiety, depression, or the quiet ache of never feeling "enough."
I don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy or overwhelming you with credentials.
What I offer is presence, attunement, and real tools to help you feel safe in your body and empowered in your life.
If you’ve been searching for a trauma-informed therapist who sees the whole you—someone who gets how pain lives in both the mind and the body—you’re not alone anymore.
​
Let’s gently uncover the truth that’s already within you: You are not broken.
You are becoming.
Neuroplasticity
The Ability of the Brain to Reorganize Itself Both in Structure and How it Functions
Neuroplasticity is all about the brain’s remarkable ability to change. In EMDR therapy, we tap into those natural, already embedded resources to better experience and manage distressing emotions and the effects of trauma. In essence, we empower each person to take action in their recovery. After all, if the brain can be changed, then so can our lives.

"My husband and I were at a crossroads in our marriage. We fortunately connected with Ali and she was a life saver. We never felt judged and she was easy to talk to. She helped us both get back on track and reconnect, in a short amount of time, which we desperately needed."
- R. & M.
"As a person that has dealt with depression, anxiety, and BED, I have worked with numerous mental health care providers. I found Ali!
Her guidance and counseling using EMDR have been (and I'm not being hyperbolic) truly life-changing."
- M.O.
"I cannot say enough amazing things about Ali; there are simply no words to adequately do her justice. "Counseling" can be awkward and stigmatizing and (insert all the feels here) - but not "counseling" or EMDR with Ali. I love my sessions with her and genuinely look forward to them."

What Clients are Saying -
What is
Trauma Informed?
Being trauma-informed means I honor your pace, your boundaries, and your lived experience.
It means I understand that healing isn’t linear, that safety looks different for everyone, and that your nervous system is not “broken”—it’s doing its best to protect you.
In this space, you won’t be pushed or judged. Instead, you’ll be met with empathy, curiosity, and care.
Together, we create a foundation of trust so that healing feels possible, not overwhelming.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. You just have to start where you are—and I’ll meet you there.
"You are not your childhood.
You are not the pain you've lived through.
And you are certainly not your trauma.
Those experiences may have shaped you, but they do not define you.
You are so much more than the stories you’ve been told or the ones you’ve had to survive. Underneath it all, you are resilient, wise, and whole. Sometimes, we just need the right support to come back home to ourselves—to remember who we truly are.
Your true nature has never left you. It's waiting, gently, to be reclaimed."
