As a colleague of Alis for many years now, Ive personally and professionally experienced her deeply healing, empathic presence. Im regularly touched and inspired by her palpable demonstration of walking the talk of transforming right/wrong thinking to more mindful, heartful and life-affirming choices within ourselves and in relationship with others. You will be in loving, smart, capable hands by choosing Ali as your therapist!

I have known Ali for over ten years as a mentor and now peer. She is one of the few people to whom I feel confident referring prospective clients. Ali has worked tirelessly to increase her understanding and utilization of nonviolent communication (NVC) so that her clients get the full benefit of the nonjudgmental, empathic approach to therapy inherent in the NVC consciousness. In the ten years Ive known her, she has grown from not just integrating NVC into her clinical practice, but also mentoring and supervising other clinicians to do the same in theirs. While I have not experienced her as a client myself, I have been fortunate to have her volunteer to assist, providing empathic support to participants, in programs Ive led. I consistently have heard from my participants that her compassion, empathy and clarity have been hugely helpful. Because of my trust in her capacity, I hired Ali to teach workshops for students in my NVC immersion program. The rave reviews of my students have led me to invite Ali to return as a guest teacher in 2019. Ali represents the best of all therapists- someone committed to continued professional development who uses best practices to see and celebrate the full humanity of each client in a way that gently nurtures healing and growth.
