Ali made Aliyah with her family three years ago from Chicago, Illinois, and
now lives in Jerusalem. For many years she and her husband ran a Jewish educational outreach center in the Chicago suburbs, as well as becoming a life and relationships coach over 15 years ago. She is the proud parent of five children, and grandmother of three young girls.

Ali has a great deal of experience working with clients and couples, and is also certified in levels 1 and 2 of Internal Family Systems (IFS), and levels 1 and 2 of Emotionally Focused Therapy, both for individuals (EFIT) and couples (EFCT). She currently has a private practice in therapeutic coaching, but she’s very excited to shift into the world of psychotherapy.

Ali’s specialties and interests center around shame, attachment and relational trauma, and internal attachment work. Much of her work centers around healing from neglectful, rejecting, or distant parents, and on how unmet needs from our earliest relationships create our current, difficult relationship patterns, leaving us in a constant state of internal threat, even with those closest to us.

Many of us struggle to create or maintain the kind of relationships we want, and Ali is committed to helping her clients break painful cycles, reconnect with our inherent wisdom, and heal our relationships with others and our most important relationship of all – with ourselves.
