About Me

I'm Ali, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and the founder of Align and Thrive Therapy. I work primarily with high-functioning anxious clients and mothers — people who look like they have it all together on the outside while carrying anxiety, self-doubt, limiting beliefs, attachment wounds, and emotional overwhelm on the inside. Many of my clients are high achievers who are exhausted from holding everything together, and who want to feel more grounded, connected, and at ease in their own lives and relationships.

My approach blends EMDR with an IFS-informed lens, which means we don't just talk about what's going on — we work with the parts of you that are anxious, doubting, or disconnected, and help them feel safe enough to soften. I pay close attention to how early attachment experiences shape the way we relate to ourselves and others now, and I help clients build a different, steadier relationship with anxiety rather than fighting it harder.

I'm licensed in FL, RI, MD, CT, ME, and SC, and offer virtual therapy across these states, which lets me work with clients wherever they are. Outside of the therapy room, I'm a mom of twins, a HYROX competitor, and someone who genuinely believes that taking care of your nervous system is as important as taking care of your body.
