About me

Welcome, my name is Allie and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 9 years working in community-based mental health. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including: substance use, life adjustments, depression, anxiety, career challenges, LGBTQIA+/gender identity, OCD, and mood disorders.

My therapy style is warm, encouraging, and interactive. I believe everyone should be treated with respect, compassion, and take a non-judgmental approach. I use treatment modalities from a Gestalt perspective to include: cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused, exposure and response prevention (ERP) and motivational interviewing.

It takes a lot of courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you in any way that I can.

Let's connect.

Allison has been amazing in helping me navigate the world after coming to the realization that I am trans. She is warm, welcoming and like an awesome person. Most importantly like she is very personable. I would give her 6 out of 5 stars if I could, or recommend her in a heart beat to anyone looking for a therapist.

Allison has been attentive, supportive, transparent, helpful and as unbiased (as one can possibly be) for the entirety of our time together. She gives me multiple options to get the resources and support I need and always makes me feel comfortable, heard, respected and valid. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.
