Hi everyone, I'm Ali. Do you struggle with past trauma? Have the past couple of years really weighed on your emotions? Are your relationships and general quality of life suffering? I help people of all genders who have experienced past traumatic situations move through their symptoms to be able to better navigate life for themselves. We will work together through a client-centered approach because you know yourself better than anyone else. We will also integrate my knowledge of trauma-informed techniques to help you through some of the symptoms you may be experiencing. Post-trauma work is not my only specialty, but working in the trauma-informed field has given me many experiences to be able to work with different types of symptoms. I have many options that we can work through together ranging from anxiety, depression, panic issues, etc. The most important part of the process is that you have a comforting space to be yourself and express what you need during your time. Feel free to contact me and let's get started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together we will get comfortable with getting to know one another. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is one of the most important parts of therapeutic services and how to make progress. We will better understand what you want from services and what helps you to become comfortable and open in the therapeutic setting. We will also discuss treatment planning and what you would like your outcomes and goals to be for your time in services.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my biggest strengths are connecting with clients and truly understanding their issues to the best of my ability. My background of working with sexual trauma has given me the insight on the need for vastly empathetic therapists and strong advocates, especially for survivors of past trauma and violence.
