Some of her most significant clinical interests include comorbidities such as ADHD and/or ASD, providing neurodivergent-affirming care, collaboratively working with families, and taking a ‘think outside the box’ approach to creating creative individualized treatment plans.

Outside of the clinic, Alie is passionate about mental health advocacy, especially demystifying higher levels of care and destigmatizing ‘taboo’ themes. In addition, she and her husband are passionate about supporting youth, which led them to become foster parents to teens experiencing housing instability. They are also proud chihuahua parents and emerging foodies new to the Houston scene.
