Therapy for Women Who Are Tired of Holding It All Together
You’ve been the strong one.
The one who keeps everything running.
From the outside, it looks like you’re fine—
but inside, you’re anxious, exhausted, and one decision away from falling apart.
You say “yes” when you mean “no.”
You lie awake replaying what you said, wondering if you upset someone.
You hold the world together, but it’s costing you your peace.
Therapy is where you can finally set it down.
We’ll calm your nervous system, loosen the perfectionism, and untangle the guilt that keeps you people-pleasing.
You’ll learn how to say what you need, rest without earning it, and move through life with a little more breath and a lot more ease.
You don’t have to hold it all together anymore.
You just have to come home to yourself.

Meet Ali
Hi! I’m Ali, a therapist of 20 years and author of two books. I help high-achieving, self-aware women untangle the old patterns of anxiety, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—so they can live in freedom, confidence, and ease.
My approach blends the science of CBT, IFS, and Somatic Therapy with the soulfulness of mindfulness, self-compassion, and boundary work.
Together, we’ll get to the root of old patterns and create lasting change.
Why Work With Me
For two decades, I’ve walked alongside women who look “put together” but don’t feel okay in the inside. I get how heavy it is to carry other people’s expectations at the expense of your own joy.
My work has been featured in TIME, The Guardian, Forbes, Today, Verywell Mind, and more—but what matters most is the transformation I’ve seen in my clients: women who once felt trapped by fear of disappointing others now living with confidence, self-respect, and ease.
How We’ll Work Together
A 15-minute call to see if we’re the right fit.
Weekly or every other week therapy on Zoom from anywhere in California.
Feel at home in yourself, grow unshakable self-worth, and live free —aligned, alive, and at ease in the world.
Who I Work With

Struggle with anxiety, overthinking, and guilt
Feel stuck in people-pleasing and perfectionism
Carry the weight of keeping everyone else comfortable

What Clients Are Saying
“Sessions with Ali have given me space to breathe—literally and emotionally. I feel calmer in my body, clearer in my mind, and more confident in who I am. I’ve learned how to speak up for myself without feeling guilty, recognize what I’m feeling, and honor what I need. For the first time in years, I feel free to be me.”
— Wild Path Client
“Before therapy, I felt like my life belonged to everyone but me. I was constantly anxious, overcommitted, and exhausted from trying to be perfect. Now, I feel grounded and clear. I can say no without guilt, I trust my own voice, and I finally feel like I’m living my life.”
— Wild Path Client
“I used to think I was ‘too needy.’ Now I understand my needs are valid—and I have the tools to ask for what I want with confidence.”
— Wild Path Client
“Working with Ali has been life-changing. I used to feel trapped in patterns of people-pleasing and perfectionism—like I was stuck in a cage of my own making. Through our work together, I’ve stepped out of that cage, and there’s no going back. I feel unapologetically myself now. I know my needs, I can speak up for them, and I no longer abandon myself to keep the peace. For the first time, I feel free.”
— Wild Path Client
“Ali helped me untangle years of self-doubt and overgiving. I used to think my worth depended on how much I did for others. Now I know I’m worthy just as I am. I advocate for myself, I rest without shame, and I feel more aligned and alive these days.”
—Wild Path Client
“I’ve learned somatic tools that calm my body and restore me when my energy collapses.”
