Meet Al

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”

— bell hooks, All About Love, 1999

​

Welcome! My name is Al (she/they), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with

experience working with adults across the lifespan. I have a passion for working with

clients with complex PTSD, Depression, Grief, and Anxiety. I am also a proud member

of the LGBTQIA+ community and enjoy working with neurodivergent populations.

My approach to therapy is person centered and humanistic. My goal is to create a safe

space that holds your emotions, so you can explore them freely without judgement. I

believe all clients arrive with their own set of unique strengths that contribute to the

therapeutic collaboration. As a social worker who has had experience within various

systems, I honor the history my clients bring into the room, and believe healing happens

in moments of connection.

​

I utilize self-compassionate, mindful, and narrative approaches in therapy, and I am

trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR). I often integrate other

evidence-based modalities into sessions like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT),

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Behavioral Activation.

In my free time I enjoy travelling, cooking, hiking, and spending quality time with my

family and fur babies.

​

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Mount Holyoke College in

Massachusetts and obtained my Master of Social Work Degree at the University of

Wisconsin-Madison.
