I always feel much better knowing a provider before I walk through their door. Whether it’s a doctor, therapist, dentist, etc. I will look up their photo and information to prepare myself. Hopefully this quirky little intro can help you get to know me a little bit better and finally take that step towards scheduling a session.

I am glad you are here! My name is Ali and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Eating Disorder Specialist in San Antonio, TX. 

I firmly believe in the client/therapist connection. Every personality is different, and finding the right therapist means feeling comfortable and confident during sessions.
