Hi. My name is Jessie, and I like helping folks learn how to feel their feelings, improve decision making, and take some risks. I find that wisdom comes from the integration of logic and emotion, and that we only really change when we trust that we're safe and we're loved. It's my joy to navigate that change with my clients, together.

Are you or your family navigating the challenges of ADHD, Autism, or other neurodiverse conditions? You may feel overwhelmed, burdened by anxiety and depression, struggling with focus, or unsure how to find help. If you’re searching for clarity, balance, and a way to thrive authentically, you’re not alone. Having grown up in Sardinia, Italy, before moving to the U.S. in 1998, I understand the challenges of adapting and feeling different. Supporting yourself or a loved one with neurodiversity can feel like a similar journey—learning how to connect, understand, and grow together.

Therapy offers a framework to expand what is possible within ourselves, within relationships, and within the context of painful realities. I collaborate with individuals to explore difficult topics with curiosity, grieve what is impossible to change, and invite new possibilities. Over time, this process can encourage the development of new patterns, a deeper connection with self and others, the discovery of more meaning, and greater health overall.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious in your life or relationship? My understanding is that life involves all of who we are - the interplay between mind, emotions, body, and spirit. If something feels out of balance or lacking in your life, causing you anxiety, depression, anger, self-doubt, confusion, or a feeling of things being out of control, then my approach to counseling can help. I have found that increasing one's self awareness and self acceptance are the building blocks of any change process, and I will work with you to honor your process while identifying your preferred direction for positive change.

Hi, I'm Ali and I believe no one should face life’s challenges on their own. I aim to help you cultivate self-compassion, treating yourself with the same kindness you’d offer a dear friend.
I enjoy working with both adolescents and adults from all backgrounds, and I welcome the richness that different cultures, identities, and life stages bring into the therapy space. I have particular experience and a fondness for working with clients who are grieving, honoring the tender, often complicated emotions that accompany loss. Regardless, I aim to meet you where you are at and work together toward healing, growth, and change.

Life can be hard and full of challenges. I believe every person deserves the revelatory experience of therapy to make the journey a little easier. My passion is helping clients strengthen and nurture their most important relationship - the one with themselves. I want you to know and like yourself so that you may foster deeper and more meaningful relationships with those who are important to you and, ultimately, lead a more fulfilling life. During our time together you will feel understood, cared for and respectfully challenged. My native Austin roots come through in my style: chill, real, and occasionally funny.

I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, grief, or wanting to improve their relationships with themselves or others. You may find it difficult to offer yourself kindness in the same way you would towards a friend or family member. Many of my clients have felt stuck in the same narrative and patterns, leading them to feel more alone and isolated. I see individuals in a holistic perspective and hope to empower them to change their lives in a way that aligns with their personal values. I approach counseling through the lens of an attachment and nervous system perspective.
