about me

Hi! I’m Ali. I’m a behavioral scientist, facilitator, and systems steward who helps people, teams, and organizations create spaces of safety, connection, and meaningful change.

My work is grounded in behavioral science, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and human-centered design. I create environments where individuals and groups can move past survival mode, reduce burnout, and build cultures that support both well-being and sustainable performance.

I partner with individuals, teams, and leaders who want to:

  • build psychologically safe workplace or community cultures,

  • navigate stress, overwhelm, and life transitions,

  • cultivate deeper meaning, belonging, and ease in everyday life,

  • and turn insights and values into practical, long-lasting systems.

I draw from research, evidence-based practice, and real-world experience to help people and organizations make sense of complexity, without sacrificing human-centricity.

how I work

I work both 1:1 and in group settings, offering:

  • life coaching grounded in behavioral science and values,

  • coaching and mentorship for BCBA’s wanting to increase their competency in ACT,

  • workshops and trainings on well-being, psychological flexibility, and workplace culture,

  • organizational consultation and experience design,

  • public speaking and facilitation that helps communities connect and grow.

I’m deliberate about the work I take on, prioritizing opportunities that reduce harm, foster belonging, and invite people to slow down and show up as their full selves.

a little more about me

I hold a PhD in Psychology and am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I care deeply about people AND systems — whether that’s the systems we live in, the cultures we build at work, or the ways we relate to ourselves.

I’m also a mother, partner, friend, and community member. My lived experience informs the care I bring to my work.

When I’m not in sessions or workshops, I can be found gardening, hiking, exploring new places, chasing free time with intention, or trying to rock climb (with varying levels of success).

If you’re curious about working together — whether personally, professionally, or organizationally — I’d love to hear from you.
