My clients are people who are tired of just surviving — and ready to actually understand why life keeps feeling so hard. They come in carrying depression, anxiety, grief, life transitions, substance use struggles, mood disorders, and sometimes the weight of facing the end of a life — their own or someone they love. What they share is a desire for more than symptom relief. They want clarity. They want to finally make sense of what they're feeling and why. Some have tried therapy before and felt like something was missing. Others are coming for the first time, unsure where to begin. Wherever they start, I help them move forward by bui

I specialize in helping couples who want to strengthen communication, prepare for marriage through premarital counseling, or reconnect after conflict. For individual therapy, my practice supports teens (14+), LGBTQ+ clients of all ages, working professionals, and men who want to better understand and express their experiences and emotions. My style is multicultural and collaborative, focusing on practical emotional growth to improve relationships. Often a family member or significant other encourages a first session—then both notice progress from sessions in the way they talk, listen, and feel understood at home and in daily life.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Alami. I'm passionate about supporting children and adolescents who struggle with ADHD, depression, general and social anxiety, disordered eating, and emotional or behavioral regulation challenges. When working with children and adolescents, I believe in the power of collaborating with parents and/or family members to establish ways to help their child adapt in multiple settings (i.e. home and school). Aside from working with children and adolescents, I also enjoy working with young adults. I tend to utilize Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

You wonder, How did it get this bad? The love you shared feels like a memory, replaced by fights, silence, and distance. Avoiding each other isn’t fixing the pain—and deep down, you crave connection again. Or maybe the spark has fizzled and you need guidance on how to ignite it in yourself or your relationship. Together, we can heal old wounds, explore new ways to connect, and even discuss intimacy styles or lifestyle choices that bring closeness and joy back into your current relationship, a new one, or improving the relationship with yourself.
