Hi, my name is Ali (she/her/ella) and I am a Master of Social Work student at Florida State University. I have over two years of direct experience working with survivors of domestic violence as an advocate and support group facilitator. My hope is to help people recover from complex PTSD and relational trauma by deminimizing the client’s experience of chronic misattunement and reorienting towards the present moment. I have a passion for working with those who identify as neurodivergent and approach therapy from a brain-sensitive and neuro-affirming lens.
I take a nonpathologizing approach to recovery and believe that working towards self-compassion involves welcoming all parts of you to the table. If you have ever felt broken, lost, stuck, or hurt - you are not alone. My therapeutic approach is to gently remind you of your capacity for self-trust and compassionately unearth your inner strength.
Clients have described me as warm, compassionate, and thoughtful. I love working with clients seeking to deepen their capacity for radical self-compassion.
