Nice to meet you, I’m Ali.
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California and am a Qualified Mental Health Professional in the State of Oregon, working toward advanced licensure. I’ve been working in the field since 2017, although service to others has always been strongest sense of purpose.
While I’ve developed an affinity for working with adolescents and young adults, it is a privilege to serve people of all ages who aim to improve their anxiety, depression, and relationship dynamics. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities (treatment that works!) to empower individuals to strengthen their connection between mind, body, and spirit, so they can bridge the gap between their current and desired experience. I’m truly grateful to work in a field that allows me to join others on their journey to overcome personal challenges, heal from pain, and maximize their full potential to live happier and healthier lives.
