ABOUT ALI
I am a licensed Psychotherapist based in Brooklyn - here to steward you through life’s twists. A rich life is one where our thoughts and emotions are able to flow. The work of pushing down or muting certain parts of ourselves can be exhausting. Together, we create a space where you can identify and express your feelings, grapple with challenging narratives you might have, and learn to embrace the person you are. This work is challenging, but I offer my support without the strings of judgement or expectation. You won't be at it alone as you build your own inner strength .
My only expectation of you is that you show up as scheduled.

ABOUT BROOK
Engaging in therapy can be a daunting experience. Maybe you’re struggling to cope with daily stress, grappling with interpersonal issues, or looking to answer questions about yourself that you’ve always had. My aim is to create a warm and welcoming space where we can slow down and explore all that you've been carrying.
In our work together, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand the roots of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that may be keeping you feeling stuck. We’ll lean on evidence-based techniques, including CBT and ACT, to explore early experiences, past and present relationships, and what’s happening in your life right now.
I believe that change emerges from a strong therapeutic relationship. As we make sense of old patterns, we’ll also make room for joy, growth, and self-compassion. My hope is that therapy helps you not only better understand your challenges, but also connect with a greater sense of possibility, authenticity, and happiness.
