Is your psychological well-being supporting your success at work? Many people want to feel energized, focused, and fulfilled at work - but stress, career transitions, leadership demands, workplace trauma, or burnout can make that hard. I work with clients to navigate these challenges and to reconnect with their sense of purpose. I also support those facing mental health challenges that affect focus, confidence, and performance at work, e.g. anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, or ADHD. Together, we use evidence-based therapy and practical career guidance to align your career goals with your personal well-being.

Life's difficulty is inevitable. In my work, I support my clients by helping them to confront their challenges directly, and to discover meaning, joy, and change through the therapeutic process. I find that my work is most successful with people who are willing to challenge their notions about what it is they want, and who are courageous in their ability to explore uncertainty. "Happiness is not an add-on to what you already are; it requires you to become a different person from the one who set off seeking it" -John Tarrant

You may feel small, invisible, or dismissed—like your voice gets lost in the noise of everyone else’s needs. You’ve worked hard to keep it all together, but inside, there’s a quiet exhaustion. Maybe you grew up feeling like you had to shrink yourself to be accepted. Or maybe the world just hasn’t made space for your full story. My ideal client is someone who knows deep down that their mental health matters but isn’t sure where to begin. They may be struggling with anxiety, low self-worth, burnout, trauma, or simply the ache of not being truly seen.

Hey, I'm Aly! I tend to work best with people who come in overwhelmed, on edge, or tired of feeling like the world wasn't built for their brain. A lot are neurodivergent, like me, navigating OCD, Autism or ADHD. They want sessions that feel like talking to a friend, minus the part where you have to ask how their day was too. So bring a fidget, lie on the floor, eat a snack, whatever helps you settle in. My favorite part of the work is watching someone go from tense and on edge to laughing about the thing that felt impossible to say out loud twenty minutes ago.

Welcome and glad you're here! Many women come to therapy feeling exhausted from carrying too much for too long. They may be struggling with overwhelming anxiety, heavy depression, relationship challenges, low self-worth or the lingering effects of difficult life experiences. Often they have spent years putting others' needs before their own and feel stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. I work with young professionals, mothers, caretakers, and women in mid-life to better understand themselves and break free from these patterns.
