About Me

Alli loves to help sensitive, anxious, gifted, and analytical high-achievers get out of their heads and into their bodies and intuition. Her passion is helping people align from the inside out—body, spirit, mind, and soul. She has been working for over 12 years as a trauma therapist including childhood trauma, sexual abuse at any age, romantic relationships, divorce, and religious trauma. She also specializes in providing specific strategies to support ADHDers and highly sensitive people navigating trauma.

Another passion of hers is helping leaders and professionals of all types shift from a state of burnout, anxiety, and overwhelm or “running around” to a state of calm while still achieving huge things with their lives!

Typically, what this work boils down to is seeing yourself fully for who you authentically are and helping you learn to love and accept every part of yourself. Alli will teach you to replace shame with compassion and radical self-acceptance, because shame actually SLOWS down progress vs. helping us change and grow forward faster. “Shadow work” is a big part of this process and learning to get to know the part of yourself you are embarrassed of first and foremost, to better understand the WHY behind this part’s actions. Once you discover this, you can meet those needs in healthier, more adaptive ways. Alli’s approach is to replace judgment with curiosity, and then quickly wounded parts of our psyche begin to soften and be more open to positive change.

Alli also loves helping couples shift out of the blame game and into a state of compassion and curiosity and true acceptance towards one another. One of her specialties is working with interracial couples or couples with different cultural backgrounds.

Alli is a natural teacher and enjoys offering education and coaching as well as therapeutic interventions. She strives to create spaces that offer gentleness, compassion, curiosity, and just enough challenge to help push you to see those changes you want as quickly as possible in an effective and intentional way.

Alli views herself as your guide, and not your expert on your life. You are the expert on your own life. For many people coming out of abusive relationships or abusive communities, it can feel foreign or scary to take the wheel of your own life. Her passion is to help you do this and be in the passenger’s seat right by your side, so that ultimately, you no longer need therapy and can do this on your own!

Alli is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Colorado and Arizona. She has also completed the full 45-hour training required as part of the path towards receiving the Approved Clinical Supervisor designation. She received her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in trauma studies from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Alli’s work began as a volunteer at Tessa, a local domestic violence and sexual assault nonprofit agency in Colorado Springs. She then began offering individual, couples, and group counseling. With work experience as a bilingual therapist (Spanish-speaking) and working in multiple nonprofits, Alli is well-versed both personally and professionally in working with immigrants and multiracial couples. Having taken DEIB trainings and bringing this lens to her practice, Alli prioritizes the importance of taking each person’s individual culture and identity into consideration.

For fun, Alli is an avid latin dancer, dancing salsa, bachata, zouk, and kizomba in her spare time. She is almost always found working out, hiking, or running outside of this. Reformer pilates and walks/runs during Arizona sunsets are some of her favorite activities.
