About Allie
I have spent over a decade working in nonprofits with people living under various forms of oppression, such as poverty and homelessness. I bring my experience as a therapy survivor who found healing both in and out of traditional mental health treatment, and as my work examining and deconstructing systems of oppression in myself and life. The person that fits for my experience is someone who has a curiosity and open mindedness toward themselves and their life, who likes to laugh (especially if the joke is a bit off color), who understands or is curious about how society and culture shape us, and who wants to live their most authentic life.
I create an open, nonjudgmental space, that allows me to reflect your own inherent capability for safety, security, and transformation. I bring a unique perspective to therapy– therapy is not the only piece of the puzzle. I specialize in alternative and complementary therapies, to help my clients build a life that supports their dreams–and nervous systems.
Life can be challenging, especially in the culture we live in now. It makes sense that you may be struggling to feel happy, safe, or connected. There is nothing wrong with you. You've developed incredible survival skills to keep your head above water. Unfortunately, the skills that help us survive don't always help us thrive. I’ve been there, and I can help.

Get to know Allie
What's one thing you wish all clients knew?
Everything you need to live the life you want exists within you. This doesn’t mean that we don’t need to learn new things, or process past trauma, or we don’t need help–it means that the inherent ability to have what you desire is already within you. My role is to help cut through the noise of day to day life and the things we accumulate along the way so you remember the power you hold.
What can clients expect in their first session with you?
Our first session is a time for us to learn more about each other and decide if we are a good match. I will greet you, introduce myself, and we will talk a little bit about how you are arriving to the session. Then I will have some questions to learn more about you, your life, and what is bringing you to therapy–all questions are optional and you can choose to not answer or to talk about it at a later time. I hope you also arrive to the session with some questions for me, questions about therapy, or anything else you are curious about. We will address these as they arise or whenever is most comfortable for you. At any time you are invited to pause or end the session. At the end, if we decide we are a good fit to work together, we can discuss scheduling future sessions.
What do you do for fun/on your time off?
In my time off I enjoy spending time in my home & favorite places, being with my loved ones (including my cat, Nook), practicing astrology and other esoteric arts, cooking, and listening to podcasts and music.
