My name is Aline and I'm a therapist who combines practical skills with deeper emotional exploration, creating a warm space where our conversations feel natural and meaningful. Through our work together, we'll understand your patterns while building concrete tools for managing anxiety and depression, honoring all parts of your experience with genuine curiosity and compassion. I especially connect with those who are interested in both practical strategies and deeper self-discovery, helping you develop more fulfilling relationships with yourself and others while fostering lasting emotional growth.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session begins with a relaxed introduction and brief review of informed consent, creating a foundation for our work together. From there, I prioritize tuning into your unique story - I'm naturally inquisitive and genuinely interested in understanding your life experiences, current challenges, and what brings you to therapy at this moment. Rather than following a rigid intake structure, I'll let our conversation flow naturally while gathering the important details that help me understand your world. As we wrap up, we'll collaborate on creating a meaningful plan for our future sessions, ensuring our work together aligns with your goals and needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength lies in creating a genuinely safe and relatable therapeutic space where clients naturally feel comfortable opening up. I bring a unique combination of intuitive understanding and practical guidance, helping clients explore not just their present challenges but also how generational patterns and epigenetic trauma might be influencing their lives. My non-judgmental and deeply compassionate presence allows for authentic connections, while my mindfulness-based approach helps clients find clarity and center themselves. I excel at translating insights into doable next steps, making deeper therapeutic work accessible and practical. What truly sets me apart is how I blend warmth and clinical expertise - clients often share that they feel both professionally supported and genuinely cared for in our work together.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I work best with expressive, emotionally aware individuals who have at least some previous therapy experience and are ready to dive deeper into their personal growth. My ideal clients are expressive communicators who bring curiosity and openness to our work together, valuing both intuitive exploration and practical insights. They're often in periods of life transition, bringing self-awareness and a collaborative spirit to therapy. I particularly connect with those who take accountability for their growth while remaining flexible and resilient in their journey. Whether they're creative professionals, big picture thinkers, or analytical minds, what unites my clients is their genuine commitment to self-reflection and their readiness to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With seven years of DBT experience in individual therapy, I specialize in treating anxiety and depression through evidence-based interventions. Mindfulness serves as my primary therapeutic tool, helping clients develop present-moment awareness and non-judgmental acceptance of their experiences. I complement this with targeted emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills such as TIPP (Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing, Progressive relaxation), which consistently yields positive outcomes for my clients.
Psychodynamic
Throughout my clinical practice, I've found psychodynamic therapy to be particularly transformative in helping clients explore their deeper emotional patterns and unconscious processes. My approach emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as a safe container for understanding how early life experiences shape current relationships and behavioral patterns. By gently guiding clients to gain insight into their internal world, I help them recognize recurring themes and defense mechanisms, leading to meaningful and lasting psychological change.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
My practice is deeply rooted in the IFS model, where I help clients connect with their internal system of parts while strengthening their core Self energy. Working gently and collaboratively, I guide clients to identify and understand their protectors and exiles, creating a compassionate space for these parts to be heard and understood. Through this process, I've witnessed remarkable transformations as clients develop greater internal harmony, learning to lead their system from a place of curiosity and Self-leadership.
Humanistic
My therapeutic approach is grounded in the humanistic tradition, fostering a deeply authentic and non-directive relationship where clients can fully explore their unique lived experiences. I create a genuinely empathic space that honors each person's inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization, trusting in their inner wisdom to guide our work together. Through this person-centered journey, I've witnessed clients discover their authentic selves and tap into their natural tendency toward positive growth and fulfillment
Jungian
As a Jungian therapist, I guide clients through the profound journey of individuation, helping them explore the rich landscape of their personal and collective unconscious through dreams, symbols, and archetypal patterns. My approach honors the natural movement toward wholeness by working with shadow aspects, examining synchronicities, and engaging with the symbolic language of the psyche through active imagination. Through this deep analytical work, I witness clients integrate different aspects of their personality, leading to a more authentic relationship with both their inner and outer worlds.
