Therapy and supervision SERVICES
Supporting individual adults, couples and therapists in the Washington, DC area.
Welcome. I am so glad you are here.
Perhaps you are overwhelmed with symptoms that you cannot manage alone. Maybe you are ready to heal wounds that have festered? Or perhaps you’ve experienced a loss or a major life change, and the ground underneath your feet has shifted? You could be ready to integrate your body into the healing journey or into your practice as a fellow therapist?
No matter what brings you, I look forward to helping you move through this moment so you can forge a different relationship with yourself and gain greater peace and fulfillment in your life.
With more than 20 years of experience as a therapist and coach, I draw from evidence-based approaches that integrate the mind and the body to support healing more quickly than traditional talk therapy. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals and couples as they move through major life changes - including early career launch, career changes, new relationships, adjusting to parenthood, and facing middle age. I am certified in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy for trauma processing and attachment injury. I also have training in the Gottman Method, Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Positive Psychology, and Relational Psychodynamic Therapy. Learn more about my services.

Testimonials
“Ali is an amazing Life Coach. She was remarkable in helping me transition from a life in Boulder, CO that was no longer working for me, to a life in New Orleans, LA that held more opportunity. She’s calm in a storm, brings logic to utter confusion, challenges without being contrary and is simply one of the most empathetic and thoughtful people I’ve ever encountered. She always keeps the ‘big picture’ in mind, helping us to stay on course during our sessions. Her tools and techniques are masterful and she’s inspiring and fun to work with. I highly recommend hiring Ali as your personal Life Coach!”
“Ali has a gift for understanding and supporting people and systems. She works through a lens informed by the impacts of trauma, race, and change and effectively combines her strong clinical skills with a profound access to empathy. I highly recommend her as both an organizational trainer and as an individual coach and therapist.”
“Ali is a masterful clinician, coach, and trainer. She infuses a liberation-focused and trauma-informed lens into all that she does. She has a broad range of expertise in behavioral health integration and trauma-informed care. Ali thinks strategically about relevant information to share in trainings and conversations, and then seamlessly translates this knowledge to people at any stage of their learning.”
“Ali led a training for my company and helped us to better understand the impact of trauma exposure to our wellness in and out of work. She not only gave words to the way we were feeling but provided us with an understanding of the brain science... and as a result, we have team wellness covenants to ensure we are all taking the time we need to recharge and practice self care.”

MY PROMISE
My greatest joy is helping people release whatever is binding them so they can embrace their talents and live their full potential!

About Me
With more than 20 years of experience as a therapist, trainer and coach, I am experienced delivering Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and other body-based talk therapies in a wide variety of clinical and non clinical settings.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I’m one of the founding members of Rooting Resilience, a Washington, DC-based collective that provides technical assistance to human service organizations in the DC area and beyond. Through this community work, I have facilitated multi-year organizational change processes, trauma-informed care learning communities, and staff retreats to heal and empower leaders and teams.
Before launching my independent practice and Rooting Resilience, I led strategic communications for community-based and national advocacy organizations seeking immigrant rights, racial equality and economic justice.
