Real solutions for better relationships.
At home. At work. With yourself.
Mental Health Counseling in Jacksonville, FL
You’ve done everything “right”...
so why does it still feel like something’s wrong?
You have worked hard to check all the boxes you thought you needed to be successful and content with your life. The education, the successful career, the marriage, friends and family. And yet… it seems to always feel like something is missing.

Whatever your idea of a therapist is, I’m the opposite.
I’m Ali.
If you want someone who’s going to repeatedly ask “And how does that make you feel?” you are not going to find it here. My one goal is to work with my clients to create the tools in their toolbox to start feeling better in every aspect of their lives.
Why? Because I have been where you are, and through doing the hard work in my own therapy journey, I was able to create the best version of myself. As a result of my experience, I decided to start a new career in mental health counseling. But in a past life, I was a high-level executive who devoted and sacrificed everything I had—family, marriage, and friends—to focus on my career. I know how lonely it can feel in the cutthroat corporate world, especially when you’ve neglected your personal life to reach that level of success.
So now, the work I do is to help others find the level of personal fulfillment and balance I never knew was possible before therapy.
How I work
In our work together, you’ll hold the reins.
In the past, clients have said they enjoyed working with me because they never felt judged, could speak freely about anything, and were able to set the pace of their experience themselves.
I like to keep things super casual in our sessions—you’re always welcome to kick your feet up and dress comfortably. I want it to feel more like you’re just having a cup of coffee and a conversation with someone you connect with.
I will always meet you where you’re at in our sessions. All topics are welcome as we explore different ideas and solutions until we find something that will work for you.
If you’ve never been to therapy before and are feeling skeptical, I get that. Know that we’ll be doing so much more than just “sharing feelings.” We’ll be taking this journey together to help you have the marriage or partnership, career, and life you truly want.
